Death by Meeting: A Leadership Fable…About Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business (J-B Lencioni Series Book 19)

A straightforward framework for creating engaging and exciting business meetings

Casey McDaniel had never been so nervous in his life.

In just ten minutes, The Meeting, as it would endlessly be known, would begin. Casey had every reason to consider that his performance over the next two hours would decide the fate of his career, his financial future, and the company he had built from scratch.

“How could my life have unraveled so quickly?” he wondered.

In his up to date page-turning work of business fiction, best-selling writer Patrick Lencioni provides readers with another powerful and thought-provoking book, this one centered around a cure for the most painful yet underestimated problem of modern business: bad meetings. And what he suggests is both simple and revolutionary.

Casey McDaniel, the founder and CEO of Yip Software, is in the middle of a problem he created, but one he doesn’t understand how to solve. And he doesn’t know where or who to turn to for advice. His staff can’t help him; they’re as dumbfounded as he is by their tortuous meetings.

Then an unlikely advisor, Will Peterson, enters Casey’s world. When he proposes an unconventional, even radical, approach to solving the meeting problem, Casey is just desperate enough to listen.

As in his other books, Lencioni provides a framework for his groundbreaking model, and makes it applicable to the real world. Death by Meeting is little short of a blueprint for leaders who need to get rid of waste and frustration among their teams and create environments of engagement and passion.
