Meetings are crucial for collaboration and decision-making, yet they often lack relevance, consume excessive time, and are poorly executed. On average, individuals spend approximately two days per week in meetings, with half of that time being wasted. This book aims to reclaim that lost day by eliminating half of face-to-face and virtual meetings that are unnecessary and significantly enhancing the remaining ones.

The two authors, one an experienced CEO and consultant to major multinationals, and the other a millennial line manager working within one of the world's largest companies, come together to offer their perspectives on creating new ways of meeting that are more engaging and effective for everyone. The book focuses on three main areas:

Dealing with the business and corporate cultural challenges in changing the way we meet.
Cutting out the unnecessary topics and participants that make up 50% of today's meetings.
Designing and running faster and more focused face-to-face and online meetings with more relevant content; clearer decisions and actions, and much higher levels of participation.

Full of examples and practical tools that will improve everything from regular team meetings to management meetings, online conferences, global meetings, and big events. This book will guide you through practical actions and targets to eliminate meetings that do not serve a purpose and radically enhance the ones that remain.
