Tip For Managers #3125 -- Avoid silent laughter

If you can't attend the meeting, and the meeting is about art work, and you are on the conference call and can't see the artwork...Don't issue an opinion.

That way, you won't say anything silly, resulting in the entire room silently laughing you.

That's one of the worst things that can ever happen to you, getting a room full of silent laughs while you are elsehwhere, pretending to be involved in the meeting via telephone.
