Publisher Description
Bestselling author Patrick Lencioni's three previous business fables have sold nearly 350,000 copies. His latest takes on the most dreaded company activity...meetings—why we hate them, why we shouldn't, and how to make them great
The thought of meetings makes most business people miserable, but they're a critical and unavoidable part of what we do. Through fictional narrative, modeling, and practical solutions, Lencioni shows how to turn meetings from painful and tedious to productive, compelling, and even energizing. The story follows an executive who finds his job on the line and his future dependent on his ability to dramatically improve his disastrous meetings. An irreverent graduate student comes into the picture with fresh ideas and a new perspective to help the executive turn things around. This engrossing and concise audiobook will help improve morale, effectiveness, and the bottom-line at the office.

Great read

Unrealistic
Though there are several valid points brought up concerning meetings, the narrative around it was not believable and the writing was , at times, immature. I have a difficult time believing that a 27–year-old with no business experience, who just finished a film program, could walk into a large company and completely change their meeting process with logic that obviously comes from experience and wisdom—and have it received so well by a staff of seasoned professionals.
Best book
One of the best books that you can read on organization processes and breaking the norms and understanding the why.
