"How are your meetings?"

 I read a survey recently about meetings—are they mostly productive or unproductive? Some interesting thoughts and trends emerged…

…most of the business people surveyed said at least half of the meetings they attend are “a waste of time.” But when asked about the meetings that they conduct, most indicated those meetings were productive.

So I guess it makes a difference who leads the meeting as to whether or not you see it as productive or not.

Somewhat like the difference between major and minor surgery—if it’s me they’re operating on, it’s major. If it’s you, it’s minor.

I liked one respondent’s statement: “Some years ago, I was assigned to the Organization of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Pentagon. The Army two-star general used to have stand-up meetings—no one, including him, sat down. Those meetings never dragged on or were a waste.”

The most productive meeting you’ll have today—standing or sitting—is your meeting with God. Listen to life with God and make a productive life today.
