Ever been stuck in some useless Committee Meeting?

Meetings …a place where they take minutes and waste hours! Meetings…It’s unfair to compare a meeting with a funeral. Funerals have a definite purpose!

I am sure you have heard these comments and more. I was going to give some tips and decided against it. This poem just sums it up.

The Committee – by Phong Ngo

Oh, give me a pity, I’m on a committee
Which means that from morning to night
We attend and amend and contend and defend
Without a conclusion in sight.

We confer and concur, we defer and demur
And re-iterate all of our thoughts
We revise the agenda with frequent addenda
And consider a load of reports.

We compose and propose, we suppose and oppose
And the points of procedure are fun!

But though various notions are brought up as motions
There’s terribly little gets done.

We resolve and absolve, but never dissolve
Since it’s out of the question for us.

What a shattering pity to end our committee
Where else could we make such a fuss?

How can you make your meetings a joy to attend? Think about it! I know many ways how.
