This book will improve your meetings by impacting specific areas, including preparation, participation, facilitation, logistics, and follow-up. Improving your meeting expertise will make you more valuable to your organization, be more productive, and feel better about your contributions. Meetings are everywhere in modern organizations because no one has found a better way to get business done. Yet, people who attend or facilitate meetings also complain that they are wasteful, de-energizing, and demotivating.
