What Ticks Us Off At Meetings
Monday’s USAToday.com chart and poll focused on what bugs us most about meetings. The bulk of those surveyed (27%) said that disorganized meetings which seemed to have no purpose or agenda ticked them off most. Second place went to people who Interrupt in meetings (17%) and the third most bothersome thing in meetings were Nappers (16%).
The results from the poll (at the time of this writing) asking how readers would describe meetings in their own workplace showed the following:
34% felt meetings were too unfocused
30% thought meetings were too long
30% thought meetings were irrelevant to day-to-day tasks
and a whopping 6% thought their meetings were perfect in every way.
BMS Note: Apparently 6% of the people taking the poll were folks who loved to hold boring meetings.
