How to Manage Your Team Without Meetings.
An inspiring look at how managers can do away with time-consuming meetings and manage their team more effectively.
Today's business managers spend between one quarter and three quarters of their workday attending meetings. At least half of all meeting time is unproductive, if not destructive. And the problem is getting worse.
The amount of collectively wasted time and lost opportunity in any organisation on any given workday due to meetings is staggering - and yet somehow accepted. We hate meetings, but we surrender to them. Is it possible to run and office or enterprise without meetings and to elude the meetings of others? Absolutely!
This book contains the information necessary for managers on all tiers to purge themselves of the unnecessary daily get-togethers that now control their lives by introducing alternatives to meetings, such as one-on-one management, delegating, strong hands-on leadership, and the author's innovation called organisational channeling.
'Stop The Meeting' reveals the secrets to avoiding meetings called by others and explains how to circumvent such meetings without appearing indifferent of negligent. On those occasions when calling a meeting is absolutely unavoidable, the book offers effective methods of gathering groups of people together and seeking solutions.
