Technique 6: Make Meetings Disappear (Sort Of)

Step 6: Make it short and sweet. If you can't make it short, make it short and pointless. Like, really short. Like, 3 seconds short. That's it. You got it?

Or, if that's not possible, just say it's an emergency meeting and that everyone needs to show up, but only for exactly 3 seconds, or else the cat will die. Trust us on the cat.

For bonus points, have a meeting during a fire drill, or when the copier is broken. That way, everyone can just stare at each other in silence, pretending to be focused. It's like performance art, but with more sitting.
