This also goes the same with training programs for employees. Like in one blog of http://www.bizsum.com, they shared that if your staff seem a little unhappy to have to attend the training sessions you set up for them, maybe you should take a long hard look at your programs to determine why this is the case. People almost always welcome the opportunity to take a little time out from WORK work even if it’s to attend training sessions. If your people are viewing your sessions as a waste of time, then it’s time you did something about that. I agree with your points.

If meeting organizers would really analyze why to have one and who to involve and alternatives, we all might be able to keep our eye on our work more. @ Troy

I would throw out there that if we communicated information more clearly and on a more frequent basis, that we could cut out the majority of our meetings. Think about it; most meetings are grasps at information. The person who usually organizes the meeting is information starved and reaching out to "get on the same page" with the team. If we communicated more, we could get out of those boring meetings!
