Quick read; helpful pointers.

I've never run business meetings before, but I was recently elected president of a club, and so I'll be responsible for monthly officer meetings for the next year. This book was just right for me.

Good book but very elemental

Book with elemental stuff for improving meetings, will give you some hints but no more than you may already know.

Hızlıca uygulanabilecek önerilerin olduğu kısa ve güzel kitap. Ara okuma seanslarında göz gezdirilerek bile uygulanabilir fikirler elde edilebilir.

I thought that these pocket mentors would be really cool, but I am finding that they try to address issues to quickly and with just a surface scratch of what is needed to really be successful with the topic.

There are a few good pointers but not really worth the read. The book also feels disjointed because they try to provide examples through individual testimonials that just get in the way.

This book is great in size and won't drive you insane worrying about how long it'll take you to finish. Great advice in here for mastering meetings.
