Summary

On this week's pod, David Gasca and Steven Rogelberg explain how you can fix your meetings to make work less miserable.

Firstly David Gasca outlines the Silent Meeting Manifesto. In the world of work we're surrounded with very little scrutiny of the norms of meetings and emails, in that context David's work helps reinvent one of the immovable pillars of work. Download the Amazon Kindle version here. Try a silent meeting and tell us how you get on.

Then we spend time with the meeting doctor, Steven Rogelberg (author of The Surprising Science of Meetings). He tells us about 'Magic Time' and more.

Our sponsor is Perkbox - the best platform to manage employee benefits.
