Review:

Many of us are involved in meetings of one sort or another. At work, as volunteers in local organisations, in less formal social and semi-social settings, and at larger public meetings where our views could sway far-reaching decisions. Managing Meetings is primarily aimed at businesses, but its guidelines and help will be of use in other situations too.

There is good advice on how to prepare for a meeting, covering topics like setting the agenda, organising the location and seating arrangements. A very informative chapter aimed specifically at people chairing meetings offers advice on areas like keeping order, setting and managing the pace, and using formal procedures; while attendees will benefit from general guidelines on taking an active role and listening to others. Oh, and bearing in mind how many unnecessary meetings we seem to attend, it is good to see a special section devoted to deciding if you need a meeting at all. --Sandra Vogel
