Summary
Best-selling author Patrick Lencioni's three previous business fables have sold nearly 350,000 copies. His latest takes on the most dreaded company activity...meetings - why we hate them, why we shouldn't, and how to make them great
The thought of meetings makes most business people miserable, but they're a critical and unavoidable part of what we do. Through fictional narrative, modeling, and practical solutions, Lencioni shows how to turn meetings from painful and tedious to productive, compelling, and even energizing.
The story follows an executive who finds his job on the line and his future dependent on his ability to dramatically improve his disastrous meetings. An irreverent graduate student comes into the picture with fresh ideas and a new perspective to help the executive turn things around.
This engrossing and concise audiobook will help improve morale, effectiveness, and the bottom line at the office.

One meeting not enough
A great reminder that you cannot squeeze to much various content into 1 small meeting. It needs a structure and such one is suggested in the book. Great reading!

As always hooked in with a story / great overview of meetings
This book is a great sequel to 5 dysfunctions of a team going deeper into how to create more engaging meetings that have everyone excited about the company.

The Media of Meetings
What made the experience of listening to Death by Meeting the most enjoyable?
Well crafted story that had me thinking through each topic with the author.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Death by Meeting?
The CNN Headline news meeting - I now use this one in all regular meetings.
Which character – as performed by Jack Arthur – was your favourite?
No favourite character - all good and the diversity of characters is spot on with respect to any company
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The idea of a CEO always worrying about what everyone thinks and getting tied in knots trying to keep everyone happy.
Any additional comments?
The Advantage takes some of the key parts of this and other books by the author however I like being able to read/listen to both.

Mind altering book
The structure of the book, having the first half be a fictional story experiencing the theory then described in the second half makes it a lot easier to connect the dots and remember the structure.
The significant point of ensuring correct context in meetings is as mindbogglingly obvious as the fact that we don't ensure this consciously in today's corporate world is mindbogglingly weird.
A great, short and helpful book that I will recommend all my peers to read.

Ugh
Another attempt at an analogy that went waaay too long. Surely a marketer and accountant advised the editor of this niche needing a book cos there was no merit otherwise
