Running Effective Meetings
How to Plan, Facilitate, and Close Meetings That Get ResultsBy Rikard Halpert
Length1h 48m
About this audiobook
This guide treats meeting facilitation as a learnable craft with techniques, patterns, and failure points. It walks through the complete lifecycle of an effective meeting: the preparatory work that determines whether the gathering will succeed, the opening moments that set tone and direction, the facilitation skills that keep discussion productive, the decision-making processes that convert talk into action, and the follow-through that ensures commitments become reality.
Each chapter builds a discrete skill. Readers learn how to design an agenda that serves a clear purpose, how to create psychological safety for honest exchange, how to navigate disagreement without derailment, how to manage time without becoming tyrannical, and how to close in ways that produce clarity rather than confusion. The book addresses the specific challenges of different meeting types and, perhaps most importantly, teaches the judgment required to recognize when a meeting serves no purpose at all.
