INFOGRAPHIC: How Office Workers Waste Time in Meetings About Meetings

Have you ever read Tim Ferriss’ “The 4-Hour Work Week“? If there was one takeaway from that book that really stood out it was this: Avoid meetings at all cost. Even if it is your own business, let others do the meetings while you get on with your work. Tim Ferriss writes that he always makes himself unavailable for meetings, simply because they are a giant waste of time.

I can relate to this and only ever attend meetings which have a clear agenda and desired outcome. Brainstorming get-togethers are not for me, especially not group sessions. Which leads me nicely on to this infographic from SalesCrunch, about how much money is watsted in offices during pointless meetings.

See what you think and let us know if you agree.
