The Hamster Revolution for Meetings

How to Meet Less and Get More Done

De: Tim Burress, Vicki Halsey, Mike Song

Narrado por: Erik Synnestvedt

Meetings have changed. They're more frequent, virtual, and informal. Yet, most professionals haven't upgraded their meeting skills. It's no wonder that 43% of meeting time is wasted, due to:

• Meeting overload: Professionals waste 24 days a year in useless meetings.
  
• Missing success ingredients: Ninety percent of all professionals attend meetings that lack a clearly stated objective and agenda.
  
• Virtual-meeting chaos: Disinterested participants + endless technical glitches= huge amounts of wasted time.
  
• Agenda adrift: Goals are missed when meetings veer off course.
  
• Action distraction: Incomplete action items result in delayed projects and missed deadlines.

  Good news- Help is on the way!

  Meet Iris, a sales manager so overwhelmed by meetings she feels like a hamster on a wheel. Just in time, Iris finds a coach - a meeting efficiency and etiquette expert with a simple plan that helps her to meet less, make better use of meeting technology, and get more done.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Listen to this audio book! The most effective meeting tools ever!" (Richard Andersen, EVP, San Diego Padres)

4 instead of 5

I would have given five stars, if there was an accompanying Handout available with the audiobook.
