Proven lessons to make meetings worth it from Kayak.com co-founder Paul M. English  We’ve all experienced them. Meetings with no clear agenda, too many attendees with no clear role, unprepared presenters, chaotic social dynamics, and no resulting decisions. These kinds of meetings are a millstone around your company’s neck.  In The Meeting Book, serial entrepreneur and Kayak.com co-founder Paul M. English shares a bold new vision for transforming meetings from timewasters into engines of innovation. Drawing from decades of experience building and scaling startups, the book combines engaging, first-person stories and hands-on best practices you can apply to your meetings immediately.  You’ll learn how companies like Amazon, Intuit, and OpenTable revolutionized the way they run meetings. You’ll also discover how to set an agenda that works, inspire your team members, accommodate cultural differences in international settings, and take and analyze informative notes.  The book reveals:  The habits, formats, and cultural shifts that make meetings energizing and productive  How intentional gatherings can drive clarity, creativity, and connection, illustrated through stories from his ventures and nonprofits  Lessons from his six successful startups: Kayak, Lola, Moonbeam, GetHuman, Boston Light, and Intermute  The Meeting Book is a must-read practical guide for leaders who want to build better teams—one meeting at a time. It shows you how to present information-rich roadmaps, set lofty and realistic goals, make high-stakes decisions, energize people, and grow your company. You’ll never look at meetings in the same way again.
