EFFECTIVE MEETING TECHNIQUES… NOT!

So yesterday as I said I was in a meeting for 2.5 hrs..
Initially I had NO IDEA the subject matter of the meeting BUT when your told to be somewhere you bring your pen & your pad & you go!
I get to the meeting & find out its a recap of the buyers meeting with “K-Mart” earlier in the week. So I’m thinking it should be about 30 mins total I mean they didn’t go over too much new product.. Oh I didn’t mention this meeting started at 12 NOON!! So yeah… Lunch time soon come.
Anyway by 12:40 we’ve discussed 1 shoe & the higher ups are rambling in 200 different directions spinning their wheels on various product for OTHER retailers.. At this point I’m starving & I’ve tuned out because I mean no one is talking about ANYTHING that concerns me, and I don’t think anyone involved can recall what the meeting was supposed to be about, plus I’m STARVING!!
Sooo what have we accomplished? Effective Meeting guys & gals.. I think NOT.
Oh & for the record at the end of that 2.5hr we only discussed 2 of 10 shoes we were supposed to review after the “K-Mart” meeting.. Genius’
