an Effective Meeting

let's just admit it that we 've ever attended one lame meeting ...
so if you think that you havent expereinced it, let me remind you how boring were the meeting when you find:
- one man show, only one man talking all the time, dominating the conversation and really do not mind of others may think, as long as he can talk talk and talk (uggh God, what can I do to stop him talking)
- look arround you, you may get somebody yawning, or maybe in polite way, starting to texting, or e-mailing (via PDA's or BB's or else), or perhaps make any (undefined notes) to their notes.
- the discussion may only take 5 minutes in writting but some make it to 50 minutes or unluckily spending 2 hours talking all the same things...

how to make an effective meeting?

if you are the Meeting arranger
make sure you prepare a short notes, what's needed to be explained, to be asked, to be requested and directed feed back. make sure you nake time sheet, even better if you only arrange meeting when it is really needed...

if you are the Meeting participants
be thankful if you attend an interesting, live and cozy Meeting
if not, try to make it live,
and if you fail, and could not stand to stay any longer, either you go to the restroom get back to the room half hour later or ask one of your friend to call you, and then you resign from the Meeting by informing others that you have to attend another urgent meeting.
if you cant go.. good luck then..

(been written as dedication for one h..l meeting held by this week ...ampyuuunnnnn)
