“But, as a meeting coordinator....he’s five-star”

Yep, and even MORE meetings with even LESS action resulting from all of the meetings gives the impression that things are happening when in fact nothing is happening but meetings.

The big benefit of course is that no actual decisions have to made and no action need be taken. Action, of course, is dangerous because it might not be the best action, and thus exposes the decision maker to criticism. Best to simply make no decisions and take no action, which reduces the chances for criticism. Been there and done that (or at least had it done to me). Meanwhile Rome is being burned down by Ebola.

You forgot networking, then breaking into focus groups after a break.
