Meeting participant needs effective skills to move meetings forward. This book is devoted to the those “around the table” hungry for a better use of their time and energy.
                    
The consistent emphasis on leadership training over the past couple of decades has produced great results in many arenas. However, in the arena of group dynamics, gains have been elusive. Hundreds of books have been published to help leaders run better meetings, but still, studies show some surprising results. For example:

• In 2005, Microsoft conducted an online survey of 38,000 people and discovered that workers average only three productive days per week. The main culprit: unproductive staff meetings. 69% of the 38,000 people surveyed considered meetings to be an unproductive use of time.

• A study by Industry Week (Sheridan, J.H, 1989) says that the cost of wasted time in unproductive meetings exceeds $37 billion annually. They characterize this phenomenon as the “great white-collar crime.” 

Everyone's a Leader

So, if meeting leaders aren't making meetings work, what about the other 90% of the people in the room? Should they just sit still like polite school children, obedient, passive, and bored into oblivion?

“No!” Anyone can exercise the leadership that is desperately needed around the globe, if they have the passion, desire, skills, and commitment to do so.  A paradigm shift is occurring in business, government, education, and society at large, where people on the ground floor are ready to lead.
