Are meetings a waste of time?  Craig Newmark mentioned once that his 20 or so staffers did more and were productive than your usual lot of 20 because they did not waste time in meetings.  I agree to a large extent.  My old boss would have excruciatingly long and painful meetings every morning in some weak attempt to exert control.  Meetings would start at 9:45am; the first painfest would drag out until 10:30am, then “mgmt” would stay back for a nauseating match of nonsense until 11:30am…

By the time you got out and asked yourself how you would ever get back that time… the day was half done.   Mind you that was a company of 10 or so.

Yahoo! is a company of 10,000 and they are 1,00x worst, literally and figuratively.
We’ve been able to keep meetings to a minimum, but our company is growing, rapidly… so this begs the question, how can I maintain an efficient management system?  Something I need to think of, defo.
