Meetings

Skully is feeling a little brief tonight. Ever notice that the initials for "Big Meeting" are BM? There is a message in there somewhere. Sat through a pretty tedious, not to mention, laborious, meeting today. Outcome? None. Time invested? 4 hours X 4 people. Cost? 4 execs earning over $150k each per year. You do the math. Issues? Serious. Action steps post-meeting? None. Good use of time or waste? Waste. Why? That's what execs do. See, Skully doesn't always get to play the pirate. Sometimes, he has to don the guise of "business person" and play at the grown up table. Lessons learned? Waste other people's time... not your own. Application: assign others to the worthless meetings and roll the hammock out on the deck. Life's short.
