Meeting Management

The 25 Minute Meeting goes beyond "cut to the chase" and shows you how to take back your work day with smarter planning and more productive action. Meetings have become a de facto way of working, and as they pile up and stretch to interminable lengths, they eat up our days and sink productivity - if they are poorly planned and run. Done well, meetings are short, sharp, productive affairs that provide critical time and space for the interactions that drive business forward.

Unfortunately, meetings can hamper these collaborations when they’re poorly planned, badly run, and haphazardly organized. With the guidance and advice of meeting management expert J.W. Dionne, you’ll find out exactly what you have to do.
