Some days, all I seem to do is go from meeting to meeting. I saw this post recently, and the author, Gina Imperato (who is quoting Michael Begeman at 3M) has some really interesting points about the dreaded meeting.

I liked the section about small talk's place in meetings. I hear complaints from our Type A people who want to get in and get it done. (Whatever "it" is, and sometimes, they don't quite know.) They don't want any chatter or anything not on the agenda.

This is an interesting article. I hope you have a minute to look at it.

Happy meetings and happy Friday!
