Avoid “Routine” Meetings

I received this advice recently from "Walk the Talk":

Meetings are expensive propositions. They cost time and money, and too often produce poor results. So, don’t fall into the “perpetually scheduled meeting” syndrome – where you’re having meetings just because meetings are regularly scheduled (aka: meeting for meeting’s sake). Make sure every meeting is absolutely necessary. Routine meetings are not a good investment unless they fulfill, or move forward, your objective.
