Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable...about Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business Hardcover - 2004 - 1st Edition
by Patrick M. Lencioni
Best-selling author Lencioni's latest business fable takes on meetings--why people hate them, why they 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.
