The survey only covers selected stores and does not include Apple Stores. And how many other stores are even selling iPods? Changes are that the statistics show such good results for the Zune because it doens't representatively include stores where iPods are sold
Reading through these answers make it so very clear why meetings are a bad experience. So many meet up with a negative attitude and expectations. I can see a room full of crossed arms and feel the pain in my stomach of knowing what it takes to get past that wall to make a change.
What is a meeting, anyway. I see that many wants to get out of the meeting to get some work done. So meetings are when two or more people are talkining together at work, but not doing work? How do you know what your work is if you don't talk to other people about it? How does your software get sold if you don't have a good discussion with marketing on what can be sold?
I read somewhere that management is getting results through other people. That requires that I talk to people. I saw email suggested as a better way. My experience: I've never seen a better way to covardly hiding from colleages than e-mail, I never seen a better way to create massive conflicts than through multiple misunderstandings of intensions through email.
The resistance of change is immense in any organisation. Chance is the daily challenge and battle of management. Always necessary, never popular. Why change? Because companies that doesn't change fall behind!
So you want to get back to work? Put a lot of ours in your assignments, making progress? Towards what? How does your work contribute to the success of your company? Do you know? Do you think you know? How do they see it in sales, accounting, marketing, the call center? Everyone else is just like you, but with a very different perspective on the world. And everyone is right, though you disagree. How do you find out what to do: YOU TALK TOGETHER! That can easily end up in a meeting!
You want to get rid of dreadfull meetings? So do I? Here is a simple way to do it. Go to the meeting anticipating something good. Make an active contribution to make it good. Help make meetings efficient, productive, possitive. Learn to handle conflicts appearing in a meeting. You know, you are just like the jerk you are sitting in front of: both want to do good and do it of a good heart. So why is he a jerk? Why are you disagreeing. Well, try and find out! Ask good questions - don't judge! Be curious!
I could go on...
