Are You a Team or a Meeting?
The challenge facing teams today is that they are too big, too busy, and there are too many of them. As a result, many well-intentioned teams drift into becoming little more than a weekly meeting: sharing information people already know, or never needed to know in the first place.
In our latest Economist Edge book, Are You a Team or a Meeting? shows team leaders and members alike how to:
