Meetings, Bloody Meetings
FEATURING JOHN CLEESE |
|
Meetings, Bloody Meetings with John Cleese is the best-selling video that defines the five disciplines that transform a gathering into a professionally run business meeting to enable people to organize and chair meetings that are more effective and more motivating for those who attend.
In a nightmarish court, a cynical manager is found guilty of failing to prepare himself and inform others of what a meeting was about (even omitting to invite all the relevant people); failure to plan the agenda; failure to control the discussion and failure to record the decisions. The judge demonstrates how the rules for running a meeting parallel those of a court and the chaos that would result if he ran his court in the same way. The nightmare is so vivid that the guilty-as-charged manager resolves to apply the rules -- as will your organization’s staff when they view this very humorous, sharply observed parable.
