Amazing results!,
By Janet (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Manager's Guide to Effective Meetings (Paperback)
When was the last time you had a meeting that was so well organized and efficient that EVERYONE in the room complimented you? Since I started implementing the lessons in The Manager's Guide to Effective Meetings, participants thank me for making sure everyone is prepared (there are tricks to that!), for keeping the meeting moving, and especially for not EVER wasting their time. The use of easy-to-read formatting helps to make this book user friendly and, best of all, the shaded hint boxes with snippets of information make the suggestions, cautions, and concepts easy to remember when it counts most!

Insightful!,
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Manager's Guide to Effective Meetings (Paperback)
This is a handy, short, to-the-point guide about how to conduct meetings. Much of what author Barbara J. Streibel says is common sense, but any manager charged with running meetings knows how quickly common sense goes out the window in that setting. The author covers all of the bases and provides a series of useful checklists to help harried managers meet more effectively and efficiently. Streibel also provides many helpful references to other books that discuss specific techniques and practices. While little here is wildly original, we find that the author gives fresh, lucid and practical treatment to tried-and-true guidance.

Effective Meeting Skills,
By Elijah Chingosho "Dr Elijah Chingosho" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Manager's Guide to Effective Meetings (Paperback)
Many people regard meetings as a nuisance, a total waste of time and money. This is because most meetings are not very productive and are poorly managed and the meeting leader often has no guide on how to run meetings effectively as this subject is seldom taught at schools and colleges. Barbara Streibel has sought to rectify this by coming up with a concise guide that should help managers run productive meetings.The author captures the essentials of a well run meeting, by providing useful tips and techniques to lead, facilitate and participate productively in meetings. The advice and tips that the author gives are clear, practical and easy to follow and use. The book teaches readers how to create an agenda, starting and ending meetings on time, stimulate discussion and participation, deal with conflict, focus on achieving meeting goals, providing good leadership, delivering effective meeting presentations etc. The ideas presented in the book should provide managers with a good and useful reference guide whenever they are holding meetings to ensure that they have lively, well run and productive meetings. |
