Meeting Prophets: Charles The Curious

Charles The Curious is a renowned expert in the art of attending meetings. He has attended so many meetings that he has developed a sixth sense for predicting exactly how much coffee will be consumed, how many powerpoints will be shown, and how many times someone will mention "synergy" in a single meeting.

Charles' secret to success lies in his unwavering ability to agree with everything. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes," he says, "I am absolutely on board with your idea, even though it's completely unrelated to anything we discussed 5 minutes ago."

But why does Charles do this? Is he a master puppeteer, pulling the strings of his colleagues into agreement? Or is he just a master procrastinator, always finding ways to delay actual work? The truth is, it's a little bit of both.
