]]> Comment on Ineffective Meetings by The Mayor of Trumpton http://www.fatmanufacturing.com/?p=63&cpage=1#comment-44 The Mayor of Trumpton Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:14:09 +0000 http://www.fatmanufacturing.com/?p=63#comment-44 I think that this post about meetings is spot on - and in order to be proactive, design a future facing more useful way of discussing and disseminating information we need to hold a meeting. I won't be bringing a pen - someone else can do the leg work - I've set the wheels in motion, can't be expected to do everything! Let me know when it's not happening. Cheers.

And if you mark your stuff 'confidential' you can be sure everyone will have read it before you get your hands on it. Guaranteed to spark off lots of gossip and idle speculation that can keep the office going for weeks. Fat is the new Lean!
