{"product_id":"9781609944599","title":"The Hamster Revolution for Meetings: How to Meet Less and Get More Done","description":"Are meetings taking over your life? You’re not alone. Meet Iris, a sales director so overwhelmed by meetings that she feels like a hamster on a wheel—in fact, she’s turned into one. Just in time, she meets a coach—a leading meeting efficiency expert—with a simple system that helps her regain her sanity and humanity.  The coach’s secret is a laser-like focus on the five biggest meeting pain points:  1. Meeting overload: Professionals waste twenty-four days a year in useless meetings.  2. Missing success ingredients: ninety percent of all professionals attend meetings that lack a clearly stated objective and agenda.  3. Virtual-meeting chaos: Disinterested participants + endless technical glitches huge amounts of wasted time.  4. Agenda adrift: Goals are missed when meetings veer off course.  5. Action distraction: Incomplete action items result in delayed projects and missed deadlines.  The coach demonstrates that these five challenges are damaging Iris’s career and costing the world over a trillion dollars each year. He provides practical new solutions that rapidly transform Iris from victim to victor. These solutions are tailored to the technology-driven world in which Iris lives—she discovers how to use e-calendars, PDAs, and virtual meetings to make her life easier, not more complicated. She applies the solutions, gets immediate results, and reclaims her life. The Hamster Revolution for Meetings focuses on a small number of high-impact best practices that really work. Included is a landmark case study that shows how 3,000 Capital One associates reclaimed ten days per year while improving meeting effectiveness by over 35 percent.","brand":"Berrett-Koehler Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47172488134896,"sku":"9781609944599","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609944599_p0.jpg?v=1763837174","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609944599","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
