Enterprise Architecture and Endless Meetings...
For many people meetings are boring, but not for extroverts like yours truly. I am convinced I am not the only one who likes meetings...
Meetings are good because:
When your leadershipmanagement has something important to reveal, the mere fact of calling the meeting gives an importance right away to what he has to say. An E-mail to all employees would not have the same effect.
They give leadershipmanagement the illusion that they still speaks very well in public; that they are good orators and capture the hearts and minds of their staff.
You get to meet people in the company you haven't seen for years!
You are paid to do nothing.
You can use the time to brainstorm what your garden will look like, scribble out your shopping list or even plan out other after-hours activities
You can do eye-contact with a nice woman. Just don't cross the boundaries if you are married.
Your patience is tested
Everyone can provide feedback instantly. Hopefully, you don't have to think about feedback as a gift but as something that can be filed in the appropriate bin.
It gives everyone a sense of belonging to a group, an organization. This is important for those who get no love elsewhere.
