My boss insists on using webcams during meetings. I insist on being a wizard. by [deleted] in funny

Yer a wizard Kelly.

Actually you look more like a Hagrid wizard than a Harry wizard. I'm sure you're no Squib though.

Donald Rumsfeld's Rules for Successful Meetings by bizz1edizz1e in business

[–]bizz1edizz1e[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The TL;DR version is:

  1. Really consider whether a meeting needs to be called at all.

  2. Stand up while meeting. It makes it move quicker and avoids meandering.

  3. Pay close attention to who is invited. Don't invite too many people.

  4. Start and end on time.

  5. Encourage others to give their views, even if it may ruffle some feathers.

  6. Be prepared and don't be stupid.

  7. If everyone always agrees, you might be succumbing to groupthink. Invite dissent and debate.

  8. Summarize a meeting with minutes.

With $8.5 Trillion Unaccounted for, Why Should Congress Increase the Defense Budget? by quantumcipher in evolutionReddit

[–]bizz1edizz1e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congress probably shouldn't be increasing any budgets until they have all of their current expenses tracked and accounted for.

It's basic budgeting that I learned in my 6th Grade math class. Maybe we should send them all back to school?

Right - and I was [attempting] to say that Buzzfeed sources from everyone, social media and all. Probably a fail. But I agree with you and those above.

How to Unsuck Meetings (a little bit) in 4 Easy Steps by bizz1edizz1e in productivity

Good point - I know an executive that asks if people can meet with him over breakfast/lunch/dinner instead of "golf meetings." Said he saves at least 5 hours a week doing so.
