" The definitive guide to the Modern Meeting Standard. I am going to try using this process with the library staff. "

" indicado para evitar perder el tiempo en reuniones "

" If only it was as easy as outlined in this book. "

" This was a colossal waste of time. Almost as much time as a really bad meeting. Yes, we know, meetings are broken and they waste time. There is too much MBA and CYA to really achieve anything. But for 90% of the people who have to attend meetings, there is nothing of practical application in this book. While there were cute moments (i.e., meetings as "weapons of mass interruption") there is not enough in this book to warrant anything other than a memo. Which the author is bold enough to suggest that one read. Yes, memo-reading is key. "

" Awesome book that is inspiring me to start a revolution. It is even from a Stern MBA alumni, which might make my endeavor easier. Very very short book, almost along the lines of the one minute manager. Should be a must-read for everyone. "

" A good bunch of ideas, if only I can get others to agree to the book's agenda...Well here's hoping. "
