Better Meetings: Save 100 days of your life through better meetings

A thousand days of meetings is your fate if you have an office job that that averages one meeting a day for the whole of your career. As meetings are so common you’d think that there would be a degree in meetings, or it would at least be taught in schools, but no, there is almost nothing out there by way of training or education. True, there are a few courses about not looking at your feet while delivering presentations, or even courses in facilitation, but I’ve never heard of one about the art of planning, organising, booking, participating, enduring, chairing, minuting and ending a successful meeting. That’s what this book is about, if it helps to make meetings more efficient, by reducing the number, reducing the length of meetings, making them more productive and harmonious, fun even, then it will be the most valuable book you ever read, if it saves a few productive hours. If I can save 10% of your time in meetings, then this book is worth 100 days of your working life, if you read it early enough in your career. That’s half your salary for a year. You should buy this book right now!
