Where The Action Is

Have you ever tried to improve your meetings, only to become overwhelmed by all the rules the experts say you need to follow?

Do you know you need meetings to get work done, but you aren't certain how many, how often, or what kind?

Are you ready to break past the negativity, and connect with the powerful potential for change, progress, and achievement that's only possible when people meet well?

Where the Action Is is a book for leaders seeking to make sense of their meetings and master their business.

This is the book for you; read on to see why.

Great Meetings Create a Competitive Advantage

What do high-performing organizations like Zingerman’s (a collective of gourmet food companies), Bridgewater Associates (an investment management firm), and the Opposing Force group at the U.S. Army’s National Training Center have in common? They don’t waste a lot of time in meetings.

Does this mean that they don’t meet? Not at all. Instead, leaders at these organizations have learned how to design a sequence of tailored meetings that engage people and drive forward momentum.

Distilling insights from business management, cognitive and behavioral psychology, innovation studies, and 10 years of focused work on meetings, Where the Action Is presents a new understanding of how organizations can use meetings to engage their communities, simplify communications, and accelerate progress.
