Why read it?

1 author picked Death by Meeting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is a really unique and different meeting book – it basically teaches about how to run meeting effectively by inserting them naturally into a fable.

From Steven's list on navigating out of meeting hell.
