Customer Reviews

A helpful book

I found this book to be very helpful-it is a refreshing approach to meetings, and especially to the confusing and often mysterious rules of order that govern many formal meetings. It has many practical ideas and sample scripts that can easily be used. The Chapter on rules of order that make sense (Chapter7)has helped me the most. As a result, I have been able to make a big difference in the formal meetings that I attend, by introducing these new concepts. The most practical part is the troubleshooting guide in Chapter 10. In a table format, it lists common meeting ailments and simple and practical ways to remedy and prevent them. The book is full of innovative ideas that can easily be put in to practise.

How to make the most of a meeting

Business meetings often don't encourage productivity because their managers don't know how to put together productive routines and sessions: this book shows how to organize, conduct and facilitate a variety of meetings, showing how to make the most of a meeting and how to oversee a meeting for maximum results.

Bravo

As a recording secretary and municipal administrator, I would recommend this book to anyone who participates, chairs, or organizes any type of business meeting. Mr. Mina's book is full of practical suggestions that are easy to implement. After making several simple changes to our meeting procedure, everyone noticed considerable improvement. "The Complete Guide to Business Meetings" is guaranteed to save your organization time and money.
