  Meetings can be exceedingly fruitful when done well. The other day I found myself chasing a solution for a good hour or so. Realizing the inanity of this, I called together the interested parties, explained my issue, and together we worked out a feasible solution and corrected some of my misunderstandings. Total time commitment of the meeting? Thirty minutes. The next time you find yourself in a fruitless meeting, consider the things you could do to ensure future meetings are more valuable in the future, and work with management to get your ideas in motion. Hopefully you'll improve your situation, and you'll show initiative that'll look great when your next review comes up.

  Meeting quality is mostly a function of the thinking quality of the person controlling the meeting. If the purpose of the meeting is to impress the exec in the room that Joe is "doing something" the rest of the attendees of the meeting will probably find Joe's meeting a waste of time.
