Product Description
meetings are important business and social activities. we meet with other people to learn, to exchange information, to take decisions and to enjoy ourselves. however, research has suggested that meetings are not only a waste of time but also engulf 60 per cent of our working time. despite their necessity, many meetings are organized by individuals who have other full-time responsibilities and lack the formal training and experience to ensure their successful planning and execution.
alan barker provides guidance on how to get meetings right. readers should be able to reap the rewards from appropriate preparation, maximizing participation, understanding group dynamics, effective chairing, and how to follow up.

Right on time: how to make meetings work
Alan Barker knows just about everything about meetings, and in this somewhat academic discussion of the ubiquitous business meeting, he outlines it all for you - quite literally, as the book consists almost entirely of headings, bullet points, sidebars and drills. Using this easy-to-read structure, Barker presents a variety of insightful ways to look at problems and inspire creative thinking. We recommend this book to managers who wonder why their meetings go on for so long yet fail to lead to action. Meeting-wise, it leaves no stone unturned.
