The Surprising Science of Meetings
How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance
About the book
An estimated 55 million meetings are held each day in the United States, yet the time they consume yields only modest returns. Steven G. Rogelberg, a researcher and consultant to some of the most successful companies, argues that poor meetings are not an unavoidable cost of doing business, because researchers now understand the key drivers of a good meeting. He draws on research, analytics and data mining, along with survey interviews of more than 5,000 employees across many industries, to set out practices that improve meeting quality for managers and staff alike. It is written for anyone who leads or takes part in meetings.
Adam Grant called Rogelberg the world's leading expert on fixing meetings, which he described as places where productivity and creativity die. David Altman, chief operating officer of the Center for Creative Leadership, praised its evidence-based, actionable advice.
