Pollyanna posted:the one who drags the meeting 10-15 minutes over time asking specific questions about things that their team has absolutely nothing to do with and no one in the room can do anything about or will have their work materially change with or without knowledge of My favorite variant of this type of guy is during the end of a meeting they ask a series of questions about the topics discussed in the meeting and you have a 2nd meeting.

akadajet posted:oh boy the few times I've had to fill in running standup everyone always tells me "oh wow, that was fast and painless". The secret is to tell people to "table it" the instant they go off topic. It's much better on my newer team but on my old team we used to have guys who loved to hold how smart they were over you. Our SM was way too passive aggressive to tell them to shut up. Saying your status, and talking in more detail about stuff later is such a simple concept but it's incredibly hard for certain types of people to understand.
