Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable...about Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business
by
Casey McDaniel, the founder and CEO of Yip Software, is in the midst of a problem he created, but one he doesn't know how to solve. And he doesn't know where or who to turn to for advice. His staff can't help him; they're as dumbfounded as he is by their tortuous meetings.
Then an unlikely advisor, Will Peterson, enters Casey's world. When he proposes an unconventional, even radical, approach to solving the meeting problem, Casey is just desperate enough to listen.

What an engaging way to get a rather dull topic across. This book started with a Fable which read like a short Fiction book. It was engaging and the characters were well developed for such little writing. It was a unique way to get a short and simple idea across to the reader. I hardly noticed I was reading a business book or that I was actually learning something. The summary at the end was short and sweetly to the point. Was it mind blowing to me, well no, as I kinda knew most of the information anyway from my past career experience but I think it would be a great help to many and such a quick, simple read. |
