"In workplaces around the world, meetings are where productivity and creativity go to die. Steven Rogelberg is the world's leading expert on how to fix them, and here he shares the best evidence on how we can stop wasting time and falling victim to groupthink." -- Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Give and Take, Originals, and Option B with Sheryl Sandberg Steven G. Rogelberg is Chancellor's Professor at University of North Carolina, Charlotte, for distinguished national, international, and interdisciplinary contributions. He has well over 100 publications and recently won the highly prestigious Humboldt Award for his research on meeting science. His work has been profiled in the Harvard Business Review, CBS News, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, NPR, Guardian, National Geographic, and Scientific American Mind, among others. In addition to his research and teaching, he consults for small and large organizations, including IBM, TIAA, Procter & Gamble, VF Corporation, Family Dollar, Siemens, and others. Dr. Rogelberg founded and currently directs large outreach initiatives focusing on nonprofit organization health and effectiveness with over 500 nonprofits served.
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.
Great read, great tips and takeaways Steven Rogelberg has written a highly approachable, useful book aimed at making meetings more effective. The book clearly lays out why most people groan at the thought of yet one more meeting, and provides techniques and tips for improving meetings. I thought it was really important that these tips and techniques are based on years of research by the author himself and by others in the field, and that this research occurred in many different settings (e.g., lab studies, field studies, surveys, etc.). It's important to know that this book doesn't argue for a one-size-fits-all "prescription" for meetings, rather that there are things meeting leaders need to think about and do before, during, and after meetings that will help. I found a lot to like about this book, so it is difficult to pick a favorite tip, but the two chapters I find myself thinking about now having finished the book are the one on agendas and the one on remote call-in meetings. My department uses agendas for all meetings, but this chapter has given me ideas for improving them. And, increasingly, we find people want to call in to meetings, but this is rarely effective. If you lead meetings at your organization, you'll appreciate Rogelberg's book.Must Have for Organizational Life Professor Rogelberg has been studying meetings in organizational life for years so it's nice to see him translate his research for a broader audience. This is one of those books that all business folks should have on their bookshelf. In addition to his own research he cites some of the most classic studies of organizational behavior. He adapts research findings to practical use and even provides a series of tools at the end of the book for the reader to utilize. I highly recommend.This is a great book This book should be required reading for every manager or for everyone who has to hold meetings at work. Drawing on an extensive body of research Steve Rogelberg has written an eminently practical guide for improving meetings in organizations. The book is replete with practical advice, tools and tips. Its an easy read (I read it on a 1.5 hour flight) but is a book that I will return to in the future.
