Book description
Casey McDaniel had never been so nervous in his life.
In just ten minutes, The Meeting, as it would forever be known,
would begin. Casey had every reason to believe that his performance
over the next two hours would determine the fate of his career, his
financial future, and the company he had built from scratch.
“How could my life have unraveled so quickly?” he wondered.
In his latest page-turning work of business fiction, best-selling
author Patrick Lencioni provides readers with another powerful and
thought-provoking book, this one centered around a cure for the most
painful yet underestimated problem of modern business: bad meetings.
And what he suggests is both simple and revolutionary.
Casey McDaniel, the founder and CEO of Yip Software, is in the midst
of a problem he created, but one he doesn't know how to solve. And he
doesn't know where or who to turn to for advice. His staff can't help
him; they're as dumbfounded as he is by their tortuous meetings.
Then an unlikely advisor, Will Peterson, enters Casey's world. When
he proposes an unconventional, even radical, approach to solving the
meeting problem, Casey is just desperate enough to listen.
As in his other books, Lencioni provides a framework for his
groundbreaking model, and makes it applicable to the real world.
Death by Meeting is nothing short of a blueprint for leaders
who want to eliminate waste and frustration among their teams, and
create environments of engagement and passion.
