Try Stand Up Meetings

Probably the biggest issue with workplace meetings is their length. Almost always, meetings take longer than is necessary. This is particularly true for those daily keep-us-up-to-date meetings.
Instead of sitting at a traditional conference table, we took the chairs out of the room and ran meetings while standing on our feet. Well, the length of the meetings DRASTICALLY dropped, because people didn’t want to stand for long. Meetings went from 30-60 minutes to roughly 1/2 of that while still delivering meaty content. Neat, huh?

Cheney Double-Talk

How does he get away with it? In 2001, Dick Cheney claimed he didn’t have to turn over documents to Congress by claiming Executive Privilege. An abuse of the power, but ok, the Constitution as I know it puts the Vice President in the Executive Branch. Now this month, Cheney is refusing to comply with an executive order by claiming that since he is the President of the Senate, he is not a member of the Executive Branch, but instead a member of the Legislative and thus doesn’t have to comply with that either. Wait…. WHAT!? So he’s a member of BOTH yet NEITHER branch? Dick Cheney is his own branch? What form of twisted logic is this?
