Let's reschedule for another day

Yes!!!

Better Collaboration

You need to start doing your job and pull your own weight!

We need to drill down some more...

We're not going to find anything new, but at least we're going to look busy while stumbling around in the dark.

Task Force

When things go wrong and there are no obvious solutions, a task force is assembled from people with relevant skills. They will relentlessly talk about the problem every day to underline the criticality. Most members of a task force are managers who ask all the questions, plus one subject matter expert who is providing answers while trying to get back to work and solve the actual problem.

Shake the Tree

A lot of dead leaves will fall out...

I give you back 20 minutes...

What I really want back is the 40 minutes I just wasted in this meeting.

What's your timeline?

I'm trying to figure out when I'm supposed to come into the picture.

I don't know everything

As a matter of fact, I do.
