Details: Best-selling author Patrick Lencioni’s business fable takes on meetings - why we hate them, why we shouldn't, and how to make them great. The thought of meetings makes most business people miserable, but they're a critical and unavoidable part of what we do. Through fictional narrative, modelling, and practical suggestions, Lencioni shows how to turn meetings from painful and tedious to productive, compelling, and even energizing. The story follows a failing executive, never much of a team player, who finds his job on the line and his future dependent on his ability to dramatically improve his disastrous meetings. An irreverent grad student comes into the picture with fresh ideas and a new perspective to help the executive turn things around. It's a quick, engrossing book that explores the keys to holding meetings that improve the morale, effectiveness, and bottom line of an organization. · Flashback · Plot Point · Protagonist · Action · Resolution · The Model · The Paradox of Meetings · Executive Summary · Problem #1: Lack of Drama · Problem #2: Lack of Contextual Structure · The Biggest Challenge of All: “The Myth of Too Many Meetings” · A Final Thought on Meetings · The Weekly Tactical Meeting Guide
