Meetings: The Unproductive Wasteland

Meetings: where the most powerful tool is the " Agenda Item 3: "Elevator Pitch" (TM)

What Actually Happens in Meetings:

• Everyone arrives exactly 30 minutes late and pretends to be surprised
• Someone starts talking, then someone else talks over them
• Someone pulls out a printout of a 20-page PowerPoint presentation
• The CEO asks for "Action Items" and everyone pretends to have some
• A "Break" is called, everyone grabs a stale donut and a cup of burnt coffee

Meetings: The Unproductive Wasteland

• Meetings: Where "Synergy" is the only buzzword that matters
• Meetings: Where 90% of the discussion is about who ate the last donut
• Meetings: Where the only decisions made are who gets to be the boss's favorite
• Meetings: Where "Action Items" are just placeholders for "I have no idea what's going on"
