We all attend various meetings. Meetings include daily meetings, Board Meetings, Focus groups. Today, meetings have become an integral part of professional lives. Though we are taught etiquette for dining table, interviews etc; there are limited ways to learn meeting etiquette. Generally one is left to fend for themselves to learn on their own such skills.
