It depends on what the meeting is. There are situations where you might not agree with decisions being made, but undermining your superior infront of business partners is not ok.
Those are the kinds of problems you handle privately. Not in a meeting with other people from other companies.
Yep and now you are committed to something you didn't want to be committed to because you couldn't say anything in the meeting.
You were probably already committed to it long before the meeting started.
Time for objections and concerns have already passed
You always talk before a meeting to decide what is going to be decided in the meeting.
That is assuming you have sane environment and processes, which is a bold assumption for a lot of people
Wouldn't you need to talk more before, if there is no sanity?
You seem to expect the person you talk to would listen, it's not always the case, unfortunately
The Expert
While I agree, I also think most such meetings can be held between those superiors just fine
There might be questions asked. And then you need the appropriate head of department to answer it. That's why they're there while not being expected to say anything.
I've had to implement systems I did not like. Systems I thought were inferior to other methods. But when the decision is made, it's made. And when asked how we plan to implement it, I answer with the plan and the steps. I don't undermine us by expressing disapproval in the formal meeting.
It's called professionalism.
