Topless meetings for team focus?
Merlin Mann | Mar 25 2008

Another Point of view from Education. Being in education gives you a great opportunity to watch people and then watch yourselves. While, we don't have that many laptops... Teachers still have papers. Sometimes, I will see a teacher with a small stack. Getting a little grading done in a meeting of more than 90 people-good time to grade, ne? Most of the time, paper and a pen is enough to distract me. I've been driven to distraction by drawing. In short, teachers act like their students. It's normal. It's hilarious. And the only time I feel like actually participating (or sticking my neck out) is when I am in a department only meeting. Fifteen people is better than 90. » POSTED IN:
