It was okay. I was hoping the book would solve my meeting woes. It didn’t. To me the 5 most important words in the book were the words that described the 3 types of meetings: (1) Goal-setting, (2) Priority reviews (3) Trouble-shooting. Okay, I think I know what those words mean. And I’m trying to ask myself which of those three “types” of meetings am I trying to hold, or prepare for? Maybe I’m just extra slow, but I needed an entire chapter to really nail that. I want to know what these meetings look like. I’ve done goal-setting meetings, and it seems like we get lost in the weeds. I try to do priority reviews at the end of each meeting, but I don’t think that's what he means. Does trouble-shooting presume that I call a meeting because there is an obstacle or bottle-neck or something? I needed a sample agenda or outline for each of these types of meetings. How do I decide who needs to be in these types of meetings? I thought this “type” structure was a huge insight, but then I just couldn’t make it come alive. I’ve conducted meetings for years, and I’m better at it than my old bosses, but I’m still terrible! (Hard to do this when you have nothing except terrible role models!) So bottom line, it was okay, but it didn’t give me enough practical tips for making the meeting more effective.
I enjoy and benefit greatly from Michael’s knowledge that is “use right now knowledge”. Began using the tips as soon as I was done with book. Keep up the good work. Leaders need you!
The templates were pretty useless and extremely basic. I was already using a better one. The eBook was more like a magazine article than anything innovative.
Great, practical, and easy-to-apply action steps for deciding the value and purpose of meetings and improving those meetings deemed worth having. Anyone who has dreaded attending or carrying out a meeting should read this book.
