Meetings, Meetings and More Meetings

I hate meetings! Especially those meetings that just seem like a downright waste of time. Seth Godin had a good post where he gave some tips on making meetings more effective:

• I think most of the time, most meetings should be held without chairs. People standing up think more quickly and get distracted less often. And the meetings don't last as long.


• All day meetings should be banned. Meetings that attempt to accomplish more than one of the tasks above should be banned.


• Last person to walk in the door pays $10 to the coffee fund.


• Hire someone to come in and videotape a few of your standard meetings. Watch what happens.
