Buchzusammenfassung

Rogelberg’s research on leadership, workplace meetings and teamwork has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post. He regularly advises major organizations such as IBM, Procter & Gamble and Siemens.

Meetings consume an extraordinary amount of time and resources, with 55 million held daily in the U.S. alone, costing companies billions annually. Despite this investment, many employees find them unproductive, often due to poor leadership, lack of engagement, or ineffective communication. Research highlights the importance of thoughtful planning, smaller group sizes, and innovative strategies like brainwriting to foster collaboration and creativity. Leaders can improve meeting outcomes by adopting servant leadership principles, setting a positive tone, and tailoring agendas based on participant input. By rethinking traditional approaches, organizations can transform meetings into valuable tools for productivity and innovation, paving the way for more effective teamwork in the chapters ahead.
