| Short description
Best-selling author Patrick Lencioni's latest business fable takes on meetings-- why we hate them, why we shouldn't, and how to make them great. Through fictional narrative, modeling, and practical suggestions, Lencioni shows how to turn meetings from painful and tedious to productive, compelling, and even energizing. The story follows a failing executive, whose job is on the line and his future dependent on his ability to dramatically improve his disastrous meetings. An irreverent grad student comes into the picture with fresh ideas and a new perspective to help the executive turn things around. Lencioni is the author of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, (0-7879-6075-6), The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive, (0-7879-5403-9) and The Five Temptations of a CEO, (0-7879-4433-5).
