“All active participants in a meeting can instinctively sense progress, and when progress isn’t being made, they get cranky and start looking for the exit. A referee’s job is to shape the meeting to meet the requirements of the agenda and the expectations of the participants. Style and execution vary wildly from referee to referee, but the defining characteristics are the perceptions of the meeting participants. A good referee not only makes sure the majority of the attendees believe progress is being made, but they’re aware of anyone who doesn’t believe that progress is being made at any given moment. And they’re looking for one thing . . . people checked out.”

“Sean dribbled to the basket, leaping into the air and leaning into defenders, grimacing when no foul came. This would inspire Hurley to tell him at halftime, 'Why isn't there a call?

“Cherry stretched her neck side to side and transformed into a big gillybear with fluffy cream-colored fur. "All right, crew. As your captain, I say we charge ahead. Mikko, you take the wheel." He transformed into an enormous field sloth with long arms that nearly touched the ground when he stood on his back legs. He rolled his eyes at Cherry. "I think that I should be captain since I'm the only one who knows how to steer this thing." "Well, I know how to stand at the front and look commanding and that's half the job," said Cherry, crunching an-other ship chip. "Onward!" Hetty and I transformed as well: she into her indigo hare form, and me into my roan form. Mikko directed us to-ward the waterfall. The spray immedi-ately soaked through our fur, down to the skin.”
