Klappentext zu „The Surprising Science of Meetings “
A recent estimate suggests that employees endure a staggering 55 million meetings a day in the United States. This tremendous time investment yields only modest returns. No organization made up of human beings is immune from the all-too-common meeting gripes: those that fail to engage, those that inadvertently encourage participants to tune out, and those that blatantly disregard participants' time. Most companies and leaders view poor meetings as an inevitable cost of doing business. But managers can take heart: researchers now have a clear understanding of the key drivers that make meetings successful. In The Surprising Science of Meetings, Steven G. Rogelberg, researcher and consultant to some of the world's most successful companies, draws from extensive research, analytics and data mining, and survey interviews with over 5,000 employees across a range of industries to share the proven practices and techniques that help managers and employees enhance the quality of their meetings. For those who lead and participate in meetings, Rogelberg provides immediate direction, guidance, and relief, offering a how-to guide to change your working life starting today.

Pressezitat
Some of the suggestions in the book are easy to implement. Playing music or offering snacks can be a simple fix to lift mood before the meeting begins. Some, on the other hand, require some more effortful reflection, like reviewing attendee feedback on meeting quality. Fortunately, Rogelberg spares readers from the grunt work by providing templates with survey questions and response scales. What the reader needs to do is dedicate time to using those tools... In short, this is a book written for anyone who needs to run a meeting. The benefits you extract from it will depend on the amount of effort you put into applying the recommendations and the amount of buy-in you get from your meeting attendees. Even if you're not surprised by the science presented, it reminds you to re-examine the habitual aspects of meetings that normally go unquestioned. Vanessa C. T. Nguyen and S. Bartholomew Craig, Department of Psychology, NC State University, Raleigh
