Business strategy meetins really -are- totally dull as dirt.

Plus, they misuse "execute". (as in "we're counting on you to execute on our strategy decisions").

As Dave Barry put it, "Meetings are an addictive, highly self-indulgent activity that corporations and other organizations habitually engage in only because they cannot actually masturbate."

Soo...is it going to be a firing squad? Or a hanging? Or how about drawing and quartering? I bet written out 'strategy decisions' do great from drawing, quartering, and burial in a wastebasket....

You need to substitute a specific physical form for the generic "execute on" to make sense of the sentence. I'd suggest either "hang with" or "throttle."

Is this a strategy meeting as in "this is the strategy and here's why it's good"? That can be quite dull, especially since your'e foten not told the real reasons behind the strategy.

Or are you supposedly being asked to help form the strategy? If so, are you actually being so asked? If not, then they'll intentionally make it dull, so they can leave you with the impression that if you only cared more, you would have had more of a voice.
