#1 "Its not on the agenda"

Dexter: Madame Secretary, is invading Iraq on todays agenda?
Rice: No, dexter, today we'll be wrapping up preparations for the Europe trip. I only have time for a one hour staff meeting, so we'll have to keep it to a short agenda. Whens our next staff meeting?
Dexter: The Tuesday after you get back.
Rice: Ok, put it on the agenda for that meeting. Oh, and something about improving the shuttle buses from the building to the Foggy Bottom Metro station - there have been complaints.
Dexter - I'll get right on it, Mme. Secretary.
Rice: Very good, Dexter.

Remember - a quality meeting starts on time, ends on time and has an AGENDA.

#2 A quality meeting also results in "action items" or "deliverables."

#4 It's not on the agenda if it's been moved to implementation.

#5 well then it would require a status report. And a set of quality of metrics. And probably a customer feedback form.

#6 Rice off the record,"Let me tell you guys the truth.We don't have an agenda. We have strategies and we have plans,but most of all we have a President who wakes up one morning,says that's all the s*** Ah'ma gonna take from so and so,and the next thing you know,the cruise missiles are launching,the bombers are flying,Special Forces are snooping and Walla!another regime bites the dust. It's like Crash said to the batter,don't dig in too deep,I don't know where the next pitch is going. Swear to God I don't."
