Yet all that time sitting around a conference table hasn't made us more productive. If anything, meetings have made work worse.Traditional meetings reduce efficiency, kill urgency, and breed compromise and complacency. But there is a solution, a way to have fewer, shorter, more purposeful meetings: Al Pittampalli's Modern Meeting Standard. By following its eight simple but radical principles you may never have to attend a useless meeting again. 'I dutifully avoid meetings whenever possible, which is pretty much always. If I were to go to meetings, though, I'd want Al to run them.'Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup and The Art of Non-Conformity PRODUCT DETAILS : ISBN : 9780241209059 BY (AUTHOR) Pittampalli, Al PUBLISHER : Penguin Books Ltd PUBLICATION DATE : September 24, 2015 COUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United Kingdom IMPRINT : Penguin Books Ltd LANGUAGE : English AGE : Professional & Vocational PRODUCT FORM : Paperback / softback DIMENSION : 178 mm x 129 mm WEIGHT : 57 g PRODUCT CATEGORY : Economics, Finance, Business & Management
