Good Meeting Handbook

The book (really, the manual) provides helpful suggestions as well as good guidelines for meetings, while addressing most of the problems to be found with meetings.

The Mechanics of Meetings

Every seemingly conceivable aspect, role, psychology, character, and situation in and of a meeting is contained within the two walls of this book. Sharon M. Lippincott has captured the essences, and devilish details, of practically any meeting within which one might be involved - the good, the bad, and the boring. You will learn, through graphic representations, how meetings work - and don't work - as well as how to prepare for meetings, taking subtle and even overt control of a meeting; and when to just be a passive observer (or not be there at all, in some cases). Roughly every other page contains a table that breaks down the particulars of meetings as addressed in that chapter through modular components. Nothing is left to chance, and there are rare uses of "miscellaneous" to be found anywhere in the book. Sharon's vast experience in the world of educating audiences on meeting protocol and etiquette shows through every sentence offered in over 200 pages of functional, roll-up-your-sleeves advice and instruction.
