My boss seems to love useless meetings
My boss seems to love useless meetings. Anything I can do at these gatherings besides daydream?
answer:
Absolutely. A productive meeting establishes what needs to be done, who will do it, and when. With that in mind, informally help your boss. You can also model productive behavior by asking good questions, being accountable and dependable, and respecting others’ input. This should raise the energy in the room and gradually inspire others. Now, if the purpose of the meeting is to brainstorm ideas, then the what, who, and when aren’t required. In those meetings, it’s important to create an atmosphere where everyone’s ideas are welcomed and seriously considered. Here, creative daydreaming is definitely okay.
