The Missed Meeting
What One Conversation Reveals About Everything ElseBy Pete Ketchum
Length1h 45m
About this audiobook
Most organizations don't fail because of strategy. They fail because of broken feedback loops, demotivated teams, and conversations that never happened. The Missed Meeting uses a single, everyday event as a lens to examine how leaders communicate, how employee motivation erodes, and why small organizational moments carry far more weight than we realize. Drawing on behavioral science and organizational psychology, Pete Ketchum shows founders, CEOs, managers, and team leads that demotivation is not a people problem. It is a design problem. This book gives you a practical framework for diagnosing what's really happening inside your team, rebuilding trust, and fixing the systems that quietly drain performance before the damage compounds.
