Review:

Have you ever been to a bad meeting? Who hasn't? This book will help everyone run more productive and motivating meetings. Don't miss it! --Ken Blanchard, Co-Author, The One-Minute Manager and The Secret

To be honest, I hate meetings and tend to keep them to a minimum. But if I need to chair or attend them, I always consult Donald Kirkpatrick. Now he has put his practical, interesting, and enjoyable ideas down in this wonderful book. You should buy this book for managers and trainers to make their meetings more productive. --Diederick Stoel, CEO, Profitwise

This book is right on the mark! Learning to plan and conduct productive meetings should be a part of every management development program. Because so much of our time is spent in meetings, it makes sense that possessing productive meeting management skills can have a real impact on an organization's bottom line. --Frank J. Anderson, Jr. President, Defense Acquisitions University
