"Years ago I worked for a man who LOVED meetings. The more we had and the longer they took, the happier he was. I, on the other hand, hate going to meetings. Bad meetings are an ENORMOUS, frustrating waste of time.
I lived in San Diego near my principle office, and all the meetings were held at the regional office in Orange, CA, which was 100 miles door-to-door from my home. So every time he had another long, pointless meeting, I drove 200 miles. Typically, he would open the meetings by saying that he wanted our input on this or that; then he'd proceed to spend 2 to 3 to 4 hours telling us what he thought. Once I sent him a memo telling how much he had paid me that month to sit in my car going to his meetings. I suggested he wasn't getting as much horse power out of my salary as he would if I could actually DO WORK instead of going to these meetings.
His solution: He appointed an ad hoc committee to meet before our main meetings to discuss the goals and agenda for the meeting to follow. Then this ad hoc committee would stay after the main meeting to discuss what happened and to evaluate the success of the main meeting. So instead of reducing meeting time, he tripled it. AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGG!
