Summary of "Death by Meeting"
A Leadership Fable
by Patrick Lencioni

• Meetings are often boring, pointless and lacking in energy.
• A rallying point, a goal or a shared value can help morale.
• Many people resign themselves to boring meetings.
• Managers can make meetings effective and interesting.
• Long meetings aren’t necessarily bad and short ones aren’t necessarily good. Whether a meeting is long or short doesn’t matter as much as whether it is effective.
• Drama and conflict can make meetings more interesting and get people to invest themselves, particularly if they understand that they have something real at stake.
• Put meetings in context and they can help you write the story of success.
• Meetings should be either daily check-ins, weekly planning sessions, monthly strategy sessions or quarterly reviews.
• Do not put too much structure into a meeting.
• Avoid overwhelming people with excessive material and a too-lengthy agenda.
