So it hasn’t entered these managers’ minds at all that if the meeting is useful and productive, people will be paying attention and participating rather than looking at their phones. #SelfAwareness

You could have a meeting where a tiger danced with a goat baking pies and people would still check their phones

I’ve been to this meeting. The phone was better.

If you’re redirecting users that use adblockers and pushing paid subscriptions for readers to read beyond tweets and news headlines, you are the problem.

The word controlling, stodgy & antiquated come to mind. Where I work I have the authority to leave meetings that waste my time. When I decide to stay, I use my phone for notes & to stay awake for the morsels of usefulness that occasionally slip out during 10% of the meeting.
-
If you don’t want me to attend, take notes or stay awake in your lame meeting; just tell me cell phones or laptops are banned & I’ll stay in my office. In the meeting I run, anything is allowed because my team is is compromised of trusted adults, not people I have to control.
-
"compromised" of trusted adults is I think the opposite of what you're trying to say

-
Composed?

*Comprised

How about you only schedule meetings that are useful? And only invite me to meetings where I am needed?

A majority of the meetings I attend could actually be an email. They exist to inform the manager because he/she is to lazy to read said email.

No, if people are looking at their phones, laptops, watches during your meeting, then your meeting is the problem. Wrap it up and let people go about their day. Better: use an electronic collaboration tool, which makes meetings mostly obsolete.

Well said Tom

I say make the meetings last long enough to get things done or do stand ups. Ppl will not waste time if standing.
