"A masterly crafted story, Death by Meeting challenges leaders to make meetings matter - to release the drama, tension, and debate that are innate in most workplace discussions, and yet subdued by pretense, office politics, and lack of unifying purpose. Lencioni calls teams to commit to the dramatization and contextualization of meetings. First, let discussion stir passion. Mine for conflict. Embrace disagreement. Secondly, one must understand the division of labor among meetings. Lencioni highlights four unique types of meetings: the daily check-in, the weekly tactical, the monthly strategic, and the quarterly off-site. Each meeting is focused, purposeful, and deliberate. Lencioni is clear and compelling. A"
"Ah, who hasn't worked in corporate America and had to take part in boring, pointless meetings? This book does a good job at pointing out what's wrong and how to fix those meetings, using a quick, engaging story. At the end, the author re-hashes all of the points made in the book. I personally think that if you didn't glean that info from the story, then .... BUT, maybe some people need it laid out without needing to go back through the story.
"Most of Lencioni's books are very easy to read - they are made up from a easy to follow story and at the end there's a sum-up, often pointing the obvious facts that you didn't get yourself while reading the story...
Most people don't regard meetings as a "real work" at all. They are jus twaste of time. Why is that? Stop going into meetings that waste time! Every meeting should be an empowering experience, like a movie where you are the director!"
"As with many business parables, this delivered on the the fast-read-by-design premise. But thankfully, it wasn't insipid as many loose-weave fables can fall victim to if the PFM (pages flipped per minute)-meter becomes the most important measure. There was insight and instruction presented, plus a guide to implement whichever next-steps the reader is so moved to adopt. Hooked by the title and buoyed up by the "book-larnin'", in the best burgeoning buddhist tradition I can muster, I bow to and thank Patrick Lencioni for sharing this wisdom."
