This article should have been n ways to make a meetings more PRODUCTIVE:

1. ONLY those that can make and enact decisions should be in a meeting. My boss IMs me if a question comes up that my expertise can answer.
2. Status meetings are completely unnecessary. The PM can gather status and determine impacts without wasting the time of the team. That's their job!
3. Staff meetings should NEVER be about the status of an individual member. If a point is brought up in a staff meeting that affects ONLY that individual, then they should be shot.
4. Meetings should be a LAST resort to a phone call, email or discussion thread.

I'd love to hear other suggestions...
