I bought this book in my latter years as general manager of engineering & production operations. I consider it as a handy companion to 'Managerial Problem Solving' by Charles Margerison, which I have reviewed earlier.

Essentially, this book is quite stimulating to read as it is packed with 60 proven strategies to facilitate group meetings. The authors walk the reader through the entire problem solving process, although I must add that the breadth & depth of which is not as comprehensive as 'Managerial Problem Solving'.

Nevertheless, the 60 tools are simple. They have been quite well-designed to deal with many basic group meeting obstacles: personality clashes, time-watsers & procedural wrangling. In my work, I have found many of them to be quite practical & effective.
