Who decided that sitting in a closed room or on a computer screen with a long list of items to talk about was the most effective or efficient way of handling business? Sitting in meetings is one of the biggest wasters of time and most boring ways to get things done. There was a guy I watched, almost from the time I started my current job. Someone could be in a meeting or on a call in their office. He would lightly tap on the door, stick his head in and state his business or ask his question, and voila! Meeting eliminated! I thought this was genius. From my observation, people seem to think that gathering people, usually for too long, makes matters more important. We have so many tools and technology that we can use to share information, assign tasks, follow up and communicate, that meetings are almost unnecessary. I guess you can tell that I am not a big fan. Meetings bore me to slumber!
