Complete Question:
More than two-thirds of meetings are considered to be:
A. Highly engaging and productive
B. More effective than a well-worded email
C. Slow sometimes, but mostly entertaining
D. A waste of time
Answer:
D. A waste of time
Explanation:
This answer implies that the number of business meetings should be reduced. Issues discussed at business meetings can be ironed out through other means of communication. For example, emails can be used. Instructions and other information can be passed to the team without necessarily holding meetings. Teams can interact effectively and efficiently without holding face-to-face meetings. Some meetings are not productive at all, as the head of the meeting still dominates the speeches instead of giving the team members a conducive environment to air their concerns and opinions and make effective suggestions that will improve business performance and outcomes.
