The proven process for making the most of every business meeting - from the coauthor of the international best seller Dealing with People You Can't Stand.

From Dr. Rick Brinkman, one of the best-selling masterminds who made Dealing with People You Can't Stand a little less painful - and a lot more productive - comes the much-needed cure for that time-wasting, headache-inducing, soul-sucking plague known as meetings. This proven step-by-step method addresses the most common problems that derail a meeting: preparation, people, process, and time.

Dr. Brinkman provides key insights into the human behaviors that lead to unsuccessful meetings, along with psychologically-based tactics for addressing them. You will learn how to:

• Get rid of unnecessary meetings
• Start and end on time
• Develop and execute an effective agenda

• Ensure effective follow-up

This practical and easily implementable process applies to in-person as well as virtual meetings of any size. Filled with helpful checklists and change-making strategies, Dealing with Meetings You Can't Stand will turn the most boring conference room into a fast-moving model of efficiency, energy, and enthusiasm. You need not suffer in a meeting ever again.
