Summary
Most meetings are a waste of time. We know this. There's a million memes ramming the point home. But - here's a revolutionary idea - what if they were actually... useful ? Communications expert Chris Fenning is back, this time with his new book Effective Meetings - short enough to read in an hour, useful enough you'll want to read it twice. Chris explains how to tell which meetings shouldn't happen at all + why an agenda won't fix a thing. Plus, I share my trauma over three days of residential training on how to run a meeting. Horrific. Though admittedly quite funny if you didn't have to actually be there. Look for other episodes in the Author Interview strand.
