We often have full group meetings, but there are so many of us and such a range of backgrounds and topics that they invariably waste the time of more than 80% of the people who (must!) attend them. Sometimes, I think about a snippet from the Muppets Christmas Carol, where Fozzywig is giving his traditional Christmas speech to the whole company:
Jacob/Statler: That was the speech?
Robert Marley/Waldorf: It was dumb!
Jacob/Statler: It was obvious!
Robert/Waldorf: It was pointless!
Jacob/Statler: It was…short.
…
Marleys: I loved it!
Sadly, most of the ones I have to attend are anything but short…
