Corporate meetings, business meetings, meetings and conferences - all these events have become part of our lives and have become routine. We perceive them as a boring, tedious, often meaningless and aimless pastime and do not even think that they can be changed. Actor, writer, director and international business consultant David Pearl is confident that the usual “under-meetings” should turn into full-fledged meetings and everyone can start this process, regardless of what rung of the career ladder they stop at. First of all, you need to understand the purpose and objectives of different types of meetings, determine what contribution each participant should make to solving the issue and what role he will play, formulate how solving a specific problem will affect the long-term goals of the organization and its relations with the outside world, well and then make decisions. It sounds simple, but try to implement it! Witty written, full of subtle observations and wise life advice, the book will be interesting and useful to everyone who strives for effective communication - and especially to those who spend a significant part of their working time in meeting rooms.
