Too many meetings, never enough decisions. Badly-managed meetings are a waste of time, and often they just don't need to happen at all.

Whatever your line of work, this book will help you make meetings more of a pleasure than a chore. This book features a quiz, step-by-step guidance and action points, common mistakes and how to avoid them, top tips, summaries of key points, and lists of handy weblinks and further reading.
