To anyone who has ever sat through a pointless meeting, wondering, "Why am I here?", this book is for you. And respectfully, it''s also about you.

Meetings are broken. They are relics from a bygone era, designed to issue orders, flaunt power, and keep the hierarchy intact. In today''s digital, collaborate-or-bust era, this model isn''t just inefficient, it actively harms employees and organisations.

Drawing on decades of research and stories from leading companies like Google, Salesforce, Pixar, YouTube, and Dropbox, Your Best Meeting Ever provides a blueprint to transform your meetings from monotonous, soul-crushing time sinks into powerful tools for collaboration and innovation.

The secret? Treat them like products. Using the seven product design principles, you''ll turn your meetings into well-designed products that actually drive work forward and serve your most important users: the people in your organisation.

Your Best Meeting Ever is the book every working professional and leader needs.
