Level 2: The Tyrants' Guide to Succeeding in Meetings

By the CEO of Doom

Welcome, minions, to the Level 2 guide on how to attend meetings like a true leader of the free world.

Or, you know, just like the CEO of Doom, who has a reputation for being ruthless, efficient, and slightly unhinged.

Here are the top 5 ways to succeed in meetings:

  1. Arrive late, but make sure to bring a gift. It's a great conversation starter.
  2. Make sure to bring a strongly worded memo that just happens to coincide with your interests.
  3. Use buzzwords like 'synergy', 'disruption', and 'innovation'. It's like a meeting ninja sword.
  4. Never, ever, ever, ever... actually listen to others.
  5. When the meeting runs long, blame it on the clock.

And, for the love of all things sane, read the manifesto before attending your next meeting.
