Meetings. They hold such promise for moving your business forward but are rarely executed well. We all know what we're supposed to do to run meetings effectively, but we seldom do it. Why? Perhaps we think it's just not worth the time to clarify what we hope to accomplish, craft an agenda, handpick participants, issue pre-work, and send out notes. But preparation and follow-up is time well spent. This guide offers tips to make your meetings easier to prepare for, more enjoyable to run - and more productive.

Really great book on how to lead company meetings
I love the tips. What I missed, is more information on small companies, where you have more teams of 2 to 3 persons, which, in some cases, need different attitude.

Textbook
Perhaps it was silly of me to not realize this by just looking at the publisher, but this is purely a textbook, read to you as a textbook. It's pretty dry. The information is mostly accurate based on my experience, but as long as you have attended meetings before and maybe ran a few, you probably won't learn anything new. It's a good meeting 101 for anyone who is really new to it but I wouldn't expect to learn any new techniques on how to run meetings more effectively from it.
