  Use the Meeting Miser OR fix your meetings

  While the Meeting Miser sounds cute, it does not measure the benefits of the meeting or it assumes that there are none. If the meeting produces any improved processes, increased safety, better products, improved sales, improved morale, etc. then the benefit of the meeting could/should outweigh the cost. If the meeting is properly conducted, has a purpose, follows an agenda, includes a summary of agreements or proposed actions AND these items are follow-up after the meeting, then there will be a benefit. If proper meetings rules are not followed, then the Meeting Miser gives ammo to the whiners to whine more, rather than addressing the problem of poorly run meetings.
