Britain Hasn't Got Talent

...evidently, as the Hungarian shadow act 'Attraction' won the final of Britain's Got Talent. 

There's no doubt they're talented and the act is very impressive, but British they're not, which kind of makes a mockery of the shows title.

Meetings KILL Productivity



Meeting activities expand to fill the time available. If you set an hour for a meeting, people will use the hour, regardless of how much is on the agenda and they will end by asking the Secretary to procure further information, leaving the matter to be decided at the next meeting.
Parkinson’s law of triviality

"Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything."
John Kenneth Galbraith, economist 

"Nobody loves to go to meetings, except maybe deadwood employees who're looking for a way to avoid their tasks. The basic fact is that while workers are in meetings, they are not accomplishing their work."
Carol Tice, multi-award winning freelance business writer

"We’re now addicted to meetings that insulate us from the work we ought to be doing."
Al Pittampalli, former Ernst & Young executive

"Productive teamwork does not require meetings for every single action or decision. People become overwhelmed and ineffective when they are always stuck in meetings."
Lisa Bodell, CEO of Futurethink and author of 'Kill the Company'
