When I worked in academic research one of the biggest wastes of time was that the Professor in charge of the lab never turned up to meetings on time (30 mins late being typical) - which wouldn't have been too bad except he constantly bragged about his time management skills. I eventually realised he meant he never wasted any of his time but happily made 15 of us sit around a meeting room for ages.... Which is fair enough I guess (he was in charge) but did nothing for morale.
