Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable...about Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business

We spend incredible amounts of time in meetings and so few are remotely productive. As the CEO, you know that your team has to have meetings, but you search for opportunities to cancel one and let your team focus on other things that you know will be a lot more productive. Until Now...This book turned my whole view of meetings upside down and gave me a simple, clear plan for managing meetings going forward. We just implemented the changes and everyone on my team loves the new way we do meetings. My entire team now swears by this meeting format and approach.Pat's plan is so simple and makes so much common sense, you start to wonder why no one was running their meetings this way before. I'm going to give this book to my best business contacts, because I know that this will be one of the best gifts that they have ever received.

All of Pat's books have been a pleasure to read. However Death By Meeting had a significant impact on my organization within 24 hours. Pat lays out a easy way to make all those dreaded meetings fun and productive...quickly. We have ordered over 20 books to date and have been giving them out like candy to our staff and our customers

Pat's new book, "Death by Meeting" is GREAT. We have been using his common sense approach to meetings, and it is transforming our company. Our senior team is much more engaged and committed to our strategy and its execution. Clear communication is flowing throughout the company. Thanks for sharing your brilliance.Patrick Cox, CEO - Qsent, Inc.

The fact that most executives hate meeting is truly ironic as they are THE central activity in business. This book cleverly points out that if you are having bad meeting, you are likely making bad decisions. Lencioni's vivid fiction reveals his simple but slightly contrarian view of meetings. I havealready started to use the meeting structure with my clients. Thanks again Mr. Lencioni.
