Better Meetings (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781648303982)

Dave Barry once said, if you had to identify in one word the reason why the human race has not achieved and never will achieve its full potential, that word would be meetings. And Peter Drucker once said, meetings are a symptom of bad organization. The fewer meetings, the better. Now those might sound like pretty pessimistic observations, but it's true. A lot of time gets wasted at meetings. In fact, several studies have shown that poorly optimized meetings are an enormous drain, not just on companies themselves, but even on the economy as a whole. So how do we ensure that your organization doesn't fall victim to this? How can we guarantee that meetings in our organization are effective, efficient, and ultimately a benefit to our businesses rather than a liability. In this course, we're going to show you how to do exactly that.
