I thought I would take a few minutes at lunch to share some insiders knowledge as to what really happens in board meetings. Blackberries happen. Yep, it may look like attendees are checking an urgent message but in reality, they are surfing the net, looking at family, pictures, and even playing games (all of which I have seen happen during my internship).
So what do I think of all this? I think I need to get an iPhone. No, actually I think its great. Sometimes, meetings can get long and boring when discussions are going down that are totally unrelated to you. Mobile devices are a perfect way to get a little work done or pass the time so that when you are needed to contribute, you’re on the ball…not asleep drooling on the visiting CEO next to you.
