How meetings work: a constructive approach

Anthony Haynes writes: It would be a stretch to define meetings as a part of grey literature. Yet they fulfill some of the same functions in business and professional life -- notably the facilitation of consultation and the diffusion of information. In this episode, Anthony interviews Dr Carrie Coucher, founder of FewerFasterBolder.They discuss ways of understanding meetings, the ways they work, and how to approach them.CitationCarrie's thesis was published under her previous surname of Bedingfield.
