I wrote awhile back of the Importance of Meetings and how you don’t know what you’re missing if you don’t attend them. However, I have been a part of many meetings that have had absolutely no purpose. Some of the reasons these meetings have had no purpose to me:
- A meeting to prepare for meeting
- A series of meetings to prepare for other meetings
- No agenda
- Asked to attend yet do not know what your purpose is for being there
- Invited with the thought that you will be an attendee only to find out that you are somehow the focus of the meeting thus leaving you…
- attending a meeting completely unprepared.
- etc.
What are some reasons you feel meetings have no value?
Have you ever felt like doing this?
