DescriptionToday, the very word 'meeting' conjures up images of time wasted in badly lit, airless offices. People sitting around tables unsure why they are there and wishing they were somewhere else. Hour after hour. Day after day. David Pearl can change that and in this book he shows how you can take back control of your working life. "Will There Be Donuts?" is about a big mistake that almost all companies are going to make this year. And the next. And the one after that. We'll call it nearly meeting. It happens the length and breadth of the business world, from boardroom to shop floor.
