Meetings are not always about the efficient exchange of information, or discovering a new idea. Meetings can be about displays of power, signaling that a coalition is in place, wearing down an opponent, staging "theater" to make someone feel better, giving key players the feeling of being insiders, transmitting information about status, or simply marking time until something better happens. It's one thing to hate meetings. But before you can improve them, make sure you know what meetings are all about.
