The board of directors: (much like the unprepared client)
They have absolutely no idea what there doing and use a go between to communicate with you.
One member says \"we want a green techy & modern logo with a star\"
One says \"we want a prestigious & traditional blue logo with a rectangle\"
The go between tells me \"we want a funky & traditional turquoise logo and throw in a sphere for good measure\"

I agree wholeheartedly - I recently took on a project, which was split between 4 major charities, each with a board of directors. Originally a 10 day project, it took 4 months to complete!
For unprepared clients, I now make sure that they know they've "booked" specific days, and if they haven't delivered their side of the project by that date, they'll be charged for the time regardless. Win, win!
