This is why I always look for the problem inside myself first. If the meeting is dull it is because I have failed to offer something interesting. In many ways the man who takes responsibility is the man who has the power to change the situation.
Very wise words. I'm going to try to live by them myself and see what I can do to improve the material in our meetings.

I disagree with this binary conclusion.

If meetings are dull, they are dull. Dullness is systemic and a group failure. It is also a failure on the part of the individual to choose to participate in something that is systemically cultural and ultimately and routinely unfulfilling.

I did not join to be the entertainment director, but find that I wind up being one out of shear boredom and tedious and unwavering routine.

That's why I'm the musician (and unofficial noise maker!). It took responsibility in another direction... woopie cushion anyone? :D
