Meetings Work When You Like Your Meeters (Score 1)

Unfortunately, many meetings _are_ a waste of time. But this isn't due to the nature of meetings; bad meetings result when the organizer doesn't know how to facilitate. With the right group of people, meetings can be productive and creative. Comedy writers, for example, can come up with some funny stuff when they're sitting in a room bouncing ideas off each other. Long, bad meetings show that the person in charge is disorganized. For the most part, meetings should be short and sweet. Set a goal for the meeting, accomplish it, then move on. If you need to brainstorm, let people work in pairs for a few minutes, then discuss the ideas as a group.
