Unproductive meetings = unproductive staff

When I was in graduate school, we were required to take a class in management. It wasn't a bad class, not a great one either. But one of the things I do remember vividly was a discussion about unproductive meetings leading to an unproductive work place. I recall the professor citing some research that showed that sitting through bad meetings was the #1 reason why people sought employment elsewhere. So let's all re-commit to trying ways to make our meetings more productive, and thereby making our entire workplaces more productive.
