About this listen

Best-selling author Patrick Lencioni's three previous business fables have sold nearly 350,000 copies. His latest takes on the most dreaded company activity...meetings - why we hate them, why we shouldn't, and how to make them great

The thought of meetings makes most business people miserable, but they're a critical and unavoidable part of what we do. Through fictional narrative, modeling, and practical solutions, Lencioni shows how to turn meetings from painful and tedious to productive, compelling, and even energizing.

The story follows an executive who finds his job on the line and his future dependent on his ability to dramatically improve his disastrous meetings. An irreverent graduate student comes into the picture with fresh ideas and a new perspective to help the executive turn things around.

This engrossing and concise audiobook will help improve morale, effectiveness, and the bottom line at the office.

Great story with important message.

I was surprised how easy this was to read. The way it was told as a story was really engaging. I didn't want to put it down.

Took A While

Im a big fan of the author but i have to say i struggled with this book. I found it a little slow and it took too long to get the central points.

Head straight to the back of the book

Listened to first 3hrs and was honestly going to give this a 0 star review for wasting my time. Skipped to end chapters where I found the concise nuggets I was hoping for from the start.
