Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Required reading
No one should call a business meeting without having absorbed this book's approach. Lots of simple, tested techniques to get results. Still valid after all these years.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Holding Productive and Effective Meetings

In "How to Make Meetings Work, Michael Doyle wrote a very useful and comprehensive book on guiding people on how to plan, organize and run effective and productive meetings. The book is well written in an easy to follow and understand style. It helped me to discard the notion that meetings are a waste of time and money and learnt how they can be very useful for an organization.

Among the important tips that the author highlighted are the importance of having a clear agenda distributed in advance of the meeting, having a clear purpose of the meeting, clarity on the type of meeting being held (e.g. whether it is a planning meeting, for decision making, feedback etc), adequate preparation by all participants, participation in discussions by all those present at a meeting, importance of starting and ending on time, the need to stick to the agenda, summarizing action items and resolving conflicts that may arise. The book also provides insights into meeting leadership skills.

This is one of the reference books that I use when facilitating on holding effective and productive meetings.

The book is essential reading for all people who have to organize, attend or chair meetings. Don't be put off by the date of publication (originally published in 1976) as the lessons the book teaches are timeless.




Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great condition
this book was sent to me in a timely manner and was in "brand-new" condition like promised



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A Comprehensive Book on Meetings!
Although at very first glance I was skeptical, this book provided great insight into running a meeting that participants will actually enjoy and get something out of. It was not just a repeat of the things I already knew. After reading this book and implementing some of the ideas, people noticed the improvements from clear agendas which stated the purpose, to the approach used during the meeting to make sure we were all aligned and in agreement on what we were to achieve. I highly recommend this book.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - why don't they teach this in business school?
of all the things that we learn in school, how to more effectively manage a meeting is not one of them, but should be. i wish i had read this many years ago. everyone who joins our team receives a copy in their very first week.
