Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable...about Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business by Patrick Lencioni

4.0

I first read this straight out of school and was astonished at how obvious the advice seemed. Having worked for several years now, I picked it back up and was instead astonished at how relevant and useful the advice was. Written in Lencioni's signature style, the message is first demonstrated in a "fable" and then the theory is laid out in a smaller section in the back. I found the fable slightly less pedantic than the one in The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and the theory more straightforward. This books lays out a fairly user ready plan for the four types of meetings and what their purposes are. If more people followed these guidelines more meetings would be constructive and purposeful.
