(My apologies for the previous release and the typos...)
I would say one of the consistent complaints I hear as I travel across the country conducting the seminar Organizational Strategies for the Overwhelmed are how meetings are such a waste of time! And as we know...time is a key commodity in getting the results needed that lead to profits.
