About this ebook
The Meetings Pocketbook reveals all the do's and don't's needed to make meetings successful. Updated and now in its 3rd edition, this popular pocketbook covers advance preparation, chairing, controlling discussions, effective participation and use of minutes. Essential reading for both organisers and participants. 'Don't arrange or attend another meeting without reading it', recommended one reader. A 'straightforward reminder of the rules' said another.
