They perceive a meeting as a
waste of time
They just want to silently do
(or avoid doing) their work
They underestimate the
importance of prepared
agenda and selection of
participants.
They sometimes are perceived
as a slippy monsters coming
out of the liner.

Usually if they call the
meeting, they have a
good reason for that.

5. They never organize meetings but
frequently are invited.
Sometimes they are really the
experts who are highly desired to
state their opinion.
Some of them stays at work for
long evenings.
