4.0 out of 5 stars
The best source for facilitation technique.,
By
This review is from: How to Make Meetings Work (Paperback)
I've used this book as a constant reference over the last six years while a facilitator for BPR and Change Management projects. Although it may lack a comprehensive array of practical exercies and techniques for all situations that arise in meetings or during facilitated focus group sessions, it is by far the best reference. Once you read, re-read, and fully understand the basics that Doyle and Straus are presenting, you can modify and add your own experience and methods.

why don't they teach this in business school?,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Make Meetings Work (Paperback)
of all the things that we learn in school, how to more effectively manage a meeting is not one of them, but should be. i wish i had read this many years ago. everyone who joins our team receives a copy in their first week.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent primer on how to facilitate a meeting,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Make Meetings Work (Paperback)
This book offers a thorough grounding in Facilitation 101. A section I found particularly useful was the one which addressed problem-solving. This section takes the reader through the process step by step. I wish the book offered more practical exercises for facilitators to use in their work. But since there are other books devoted entirely to exercises, this is a minor complaint.
