I think its a general fact that very few people have “meeting training” and as a result don’t realise the massive cost of having x people in the same room at the same time.

One of the american firms (?Mckinsey?) have their meetings standing up so people don’t get too comfy and don’t feel inclined to hang around.

I always enjoy reading blogs and post such as this. Thanks for your advice and help in creating a more productive environment for people around the world. Because Boring Meetings Suck the Time, Creativity, Energy and Profit out YOUR organization. Hence our book.
Keep up your good work. I’ll look around to see if there some items we can quote you on. The first book “Boring Meetings Suck” publication date is April 20, 2007 but already collecting examples and boring meeting stories for the follow up. If you have a story idea, I’d be happy to consider it and publish your name, site along with it.
Best regards,

This is a nice post — so thorough. I find that one big problem with meetings is that people read good advice like yours and then decide that their particular meeting is the exception to the rule and they don’t need to follow the advice. I think the first sign that you’re about to run a terrible meeting is that you think your meeting is the exception to the rule.
