The Meeting Prophecy 304: Why It Failed

It was supposed to be a meeting of great minds, but it turned out to be a meeting of minds with great excuses. They said it would be a brainstorming session, but all anyone could come up with were reasons why they couldn't attend. The projector broke. The coffee machine was on the fritz. And don't even get them started on the conference room's Wi-Fi.

Key Takeaways:

• The meeting was doomed from the start.
• Someone's kid's birthday party was more important than the meeting.
• The CEO's cat was in a meeting that couldn't be rescheduled.

What We Should Have Done:

• Brought more coffee.
• Had a backup projector. Duh.
• Called in the kid's party favors.

But no, instead we're stuck with the meeting prophecy, a cautionary tale of what happens when you don't take the time to plan ahead.
