Meeting Mania Runs Rampant

Yet again this week I heard complaining over people asking for meetings and then rambling at length, wasting everyone's time. Meetings can be improved when everyone attends with a clear understanding of WHAT needs to be Discussed and Decided. Without ingoing clarity, rambling is the typical result and frustration follows. Put an end to meeting mania and lost time - always ask for an agenda, or at the very least "what's the purpose of the meeting?"
