It takes a special individual to manage a truly terrible meeting. Do you recognize yourself (or your boss) in the following behaviors?
Here are five guarantees of a disastrous meeting:
1. Do not plan.
Throw the agenda together just before the meeting or even at the start of the meeting. Why think through what you want to accomplish until you have to? Why give others time for preparation? Why worry about the order and time to give to each agenda item? Let conversation flow where it will!
2. Let the meeting go off-topic.
You have extra time to use up, right? When meeting attendees stray from the agenda, do not rein them in. Let them relax and use this meeting to get their personal agendas covered. Any items not covered can be added to the next meeting agenda. And who knows where those sidetracks might lead - perhaps somewhere more interesting than the planned agenda.
3. Let one person dominate.
Maybe this person could be you! Why involve others in generating ideas or giving opinions or learning? Forge ahead with what you know should be done and do not let anyone else interject a contrary thought. This way everyone will know what you think and you might even talk them into submitting to your point of view. Or you might let someone else talk too much and enjoy watching others in the meeting get bored and begin making funny faces.

Manual date stamps are adequate for marking date in years and months. However using manual date stamps for marking date in months, days, hours, and minutes is problematic. Further, manual date stamps require rotation of bands and pre-checking of the positioned date on a waste paper. This is necessary because embossed numbers do not resem

4. Do not track decisions.
When the group makes a decision, just rush on to the next agenda item. This way, when attendees think back to the meeting later, they will not be sure what was decided or what is supposed to happen next on each topic. And they will not know if they had tasks to do. This means the next meeting will be a re-run of the first one!
5. End late.
Get to the most important agenda item last. Suggest to everyone that whatever is happening in THIS meeting is far more important than whatever they might want to get done elsewhere. Embarrass people who try to leave on time. Imply that the rest of the group will be offended by their "early" departure. See how long you can drag out the meeting. Maybe you could set a record!
If you do not want to be the person who runs terrible meetings, then consider doing the opposite of the techniques described above. Reverse them and you may become known as someone who values other people's time and gets the most from any meeting. Amazingly, people may even look forward to your effective AND enjoyable meetings!
