How many of these meetings do you have to attend in a week?
My current count is at 15, and I'd guess that most of the other
managers have similar loads. There are some meetings that
get our complete attention, beginning to end, and some that
don't, and everybody understands that everybody else is doing
it. As I said, there are some companies where this would be
perceived as unacceptable, in ours its the only way to get
everything on our plates. Basically, we graze on information
like it's a salad bar, take a little bit from every plate.
Me, I take my Pocket PC, a pen, and a printout of either the agenda or of an
issues list for the project. I sit at the meeting table, toward the middle
if oblong, and I listen.
