Time Quote - Meeting Quote - Nicholas Negroponte

“I don't know the statistics, but I'm willing to guess that the executives of corporate America spend 70 to 80 percent of their time in meetings ... are 70 to 80 percent posturing and leveling ... The posturing is gratuitous, and the leveling is better done elsewhere. This alone would enhance U.S. productivity far more than any trade agreement.” [read business-fable]Nicholas Negroponte (b. 1943)
