This is mandatory reading for our office. Meetings are the greatest expense and highest waste of time, unless you learn to master making meetings work for you. Great practical steps here with lots of insights to make any meeting more productive.

Very helpful approach to improving meetings.

[J. Elise]

This is a solid introduction to running better workplace meetings, with several interesting anecdotes that make it easy to relate to the content. I found the sections on how to word outcomes and on setting team meeting norms to be particularly useful.
