What's Your Contribution?

Bob hated meetings.

You could witness it in his tone of voice, his body language, his demeanor, and his droll, sarcastic comments. He was famous for his opinion about meetings. Yet as head of his department, attending and leading meetings was a big part of his responsibility.

If you want a great meeting, plan to make a contribution!
