Editorial Review:
Product 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.

A good book- presents the problems organizations deal with by having ineffective meetings (both from a lack of constructive/intellectual conflict and from poor strucure) through a fictional story. The format makes it an easy read but a tad on the cheesy side- the content was good and I think the author makes some good points but the story line was pretty weak. I have seen elements of the meeting recommendations implemented successfully in the organizations I've worked for and believe it will help ... Read More

Ever wonder why you can be intrigued with a 90-minute movie with little relevance to your daily life and be completely bored to death by a workplace meeting? Patrick Lencioni's book is an engaging leadership fable that defines what makes meetings engaging. Comparing a movie to a meeting, he insists the top two reasons meetings are not productive is the lack of drama and lack of contextual structure. While a tad less insightful than his previous books (The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, The Five Temptations ... Read More

Have short, to the point meetings, and have things decided at them.
This book drones on and on with a truly rephrensible made-up example. It is diadic generally very poorly written. The advice is trite and quite frankly intuative.
Rating: -
Another "easy read" by Lencioni: not a jargon filled tome filled with executive psychobabble.
He lays out a interesting paradigm for approaching meetings.
My only complaint is that he's made sitting in meetings even more painful! Now the dysfunctionality is painfully clear.

This has been an extremely useful book as I have been struggling with the "Most Painful Problem in Business" as Patrick Lencioni puts it. In our company we have many back-back meetings and most of the days it feels like all you do is go from meeting to meeting. I have also been guilty of conducting unproductive meetings. So when I came across this book and read the first pages it felt like the perfect book that can help me solve the problem that I was struggling with. After completing the book, I now have ...
