The poorly run meeting is the single greatest productivity killer in the modern workplace. It is a black hole of time, energy, and resources. Vague agendas, unfocused discussions, and a lack of clear decisions leave teams feeling frustrated, disengaged, and behind on their actual work. The ability to transform this broken process into a sharp, effective, decision-making tool is a leadership superpower that sets you apart from the pack.
If you've ever walked out of a meeting wondering, "What was the point of that?" you understand the problem intimately. Most professionals are never taught how to design and lead a meeting effectively. They simply replicate the broken models they've seen throughout their careers, perpetuating a cycle of wasted time and ambiguous outcomes. It's time to break that cycle and reclaim your team's most valuable asset: their collective focus and time.
From Zero to Meeting Leader is a tactical playbook for anyone who wants to stop attending bad meetings and start leading great ones. This is not a book about corporate bureaucracy. It is a simple, actionable system for designing and executing meetings that are shorter, more focused, and consistently produce clear, committed decisions. We provide the exact templates and frameworks you need to make every single meeting matter, establishing you as a leader who respects time and drives results.
