How to Deal With the 5 Meeting Villains in Your Life
Fear the Meeting Hog, Mr. Late Arriver, and the Meeting Hijacker no more.

Few things are more annoying than sitting in a pointless meeting that’s sucking valuable time away from your workday. And usually, it’s not difficult to identify the meeting villains who are sabotaging what could otherwise have been a productive hour.
