ReplyDeleteWhen in the military & I had to call administrative meetings, I had a firm 1-hour rule. If it can't be said (and the meeting finished) within 1 hour, it doesn't need to be said at all. And I was known to adjourn meetings at the 60-minute mark while someone was just beginning one of those "... and another thing..." comments.
