The Manager's Pocket Guide to Effective Meetings

At work, do you see the inside of the meeting room more than you see your desk? Do you have to lead a meeting for the first time and are unsure of how to make it run properly? Do you spend most of your time in meetings instead of doing your job?

Learn how to make meetings run more smoothly, and therefore quickly, with Steve Kaye's The Manager's Pocket Guide to Effective Meetings. Here are some tips from the book:
1. "Prepare an agenda for your meetings. Without an agenda you risk losing control and ending up with no results."
2. "Model the behavior that you expect from others in meetings."
3. "Deal with unproductive behavior diplomatically. This protects egos and creates a productive environment that keeps people participating."
4. "Set aside extra planning time when using high tech tools to make sure you obtain full value from them."
