What I find difficult to handle is when a meeting is called to solve a particular problem and someone takes the conversation in a totally unrelated direction. This snowballs when it is reinforced by one or more others at the table and gets difficult to control and a lot of time is wasted.

Sometimes I think we just need to say something in order to feel like we are contributing. I knew one very intelligent engineer who you had to almost hit over the head to get him to say anything but when he did his analysis was usually right on.
