The interaction method is a new, tested way to stop wasting time and get things done at meetings.
The interaction method:
·Increases productivity up to 15 percent;
·Works whether you’re in a hierarchical (authoritarian) or horizontal (democratic) organization;
·Gives everybody a feeling of greater participation and influence;
·Helps you whether you’re a decision maker, leader, or rank-and-file meeting-goer;
·Analyzes 16 types of problem people at meetings and tells you what to do about them;
·Tells you how to develop agendas and arrange meeting rooms and even seats in specific ways that make meetings pay off;
·Shows you how a facilitator, a recorder, and a group memory help generate more and better solutions to problems, and…
·Even tells you seven reasons for not having a meeting!
