Ineffective Meeting Syndrome or IMS is the automatic selection of a calendar invite without any conscious
thought. Choosing a meeting because you lack the
creativity to
think about how else to get what you need to be accomplished. Resulting in meetings without agendas, purpose, interest or follow-up.
This morning I fell asleep in
front of my coworkers from a bad
case of IMS.
The all-
hands meeting had over half the team lined up for the bathroom from IMS.
