The One Way Street Called Meetings

Whether it be in a corporate conference room or a family kitchen, meetings are pretty much the same all over. They are frequently one person calling the shots and everyone else bowing down, whether they agree or not.

In the corporate world, it's often the person with the least talent that does most of the talking, before the brunt of the work falls into the hands of one or two competent people that somehow manage to make the work of a few, look like a team effort.

In the family setting, it's often not a case of right or wrong, but more of a difference of opinion. And it's the one with the strongest passion, or hardest head that usually wins.

Either way, when it comes to meetings - they are many times pointless, for depending on who is involved, two is often a crowd.
