The reason business meetings have received a lackluster reputation isn’t hard to figure out. This begs the question: How is it possible that the majority of us have a pernicious attitude towards an activity that we do more often than any other, and one that is absolutely critical to the success of our business? Yet the paradox of meetings is that we generally don’t like them. Meetings are the lifeblood of every organization. CEOs and their board of directors choose whether to expand into new markets or shut down a regional branch in meetings.

Upward of 30% of our time at work is spent in meetings. Packed with practical advice and examples, Death by Meeting will help you improve your meeting structure, participation, and results. This book gives us a framework for thinking about how to make meetings entertaining, meaningful, and effective. In his signature business fable style, Lencioni challenges why we hate going to meetings.
