Brooklyn, NY – November 6, 2017 – Meeteor Founder & CEO Mamie Kanfer Stewart and co-author Tai Tsao, Meeteor’s change management and customer success lead, release their first book, Momentum: Creating Effective, Engaging and Enjoyable Meetings.
“Unproductive meetings are everyone’s problem,” says Kanfer Stewart. “Thankfully, anyone can take action to put an end to bad meetings.”
Momentum helps readers understand how meetings cost organizations, both financially and psychologically, and how better meetings increase productivity and employee engagement by enabling people to make decisions, generate insights, build relationships, and get aligned. It explains the anatomy of a successful meeting and details what should be done before, during, and after. The authors also illuminate different practices for meeting leaders and participants, address the most common meeting challenges and how to overcome them, and recommend next steps so the lessons can immediately be put into action.
In addition to effective meeting practices, Momentum includes:
- How to reflect on and assess your current meeting culture.
- How to build awareness and buy-in from your team or organizational leadership, and how to introduce changes to your meetings.
- How to determine if a meeting is the ideal form of collaboration, and when to use a meeting alternative.
- Additional tips for virtual meetings and how to use technology effectively.
“We truly believe meetings should create momentum that moves your work forward,” Kanfer Stewart and Tsao write. “When people leave a meeting, they should be energized and ready to put the outputs into action. Too many meetings—especially poorly run ones—stop work in its tracks, but this no longer has to be a fact everyone simply accepts. Regardless of your organization, team or role, you have the power to create meetings that build momentum.”
