'Something tells me this is going to be a long meeting.'

"For cryin' out loud, Frank, we don't have all day! Cut to the cheese!"

'It never fails. I offer a tiny bit of constructive criticism, and everybody accuses me of carping!'

"Well, let's quickly put Ken's incredibly incendiary remarks behind us and hopefully continue the discussion in a simmering rage."

Unsuccessful board meeting.

'Don't go too far out on a limb - he'll send you to a branch office.'

"Is it just me, right, is it just me ...?"

'And this chart shows our rate of growth.'

'I have identified 240 stages of organizational change. Before I discuss them, coffee anyone?'

"Today's meeting will be endless, with a half-hour break for lunch."

People, what a fantastic opportunity for a reset!

'This is the most dysfunctional company I've ever seen. Everyone is in complete denial about the elephant in the boardroom!'
