How to seem smart in meetings without really trying

(From Wash Post)
Quote: Americans hold about 11 million meetings a day on average, and workers say about one-third of that meeting time is unproductive. But while your company may not be making any progress in that meeting, you can always use it as an opportunity to remind everyone how smart and important you are. Endquote
All of it applies in India as well.

    Nod continuously while pretending to take notes.
    Repeat the last thing the smartest person in the room has already said, just very,very slowly - emphasising on each word!

    ^ Been there, done that. 😁

    #7 & #9 works well for me 😎

    By the way, is there a thread here on CE that discusses on how to actually have a productive meeting? haha
