With examples from around the world, and practical tips and exercises in every chapter, Don't Just Do Something, Stand There! gives you many new techniques for helping people discover common ground, make productive use of dissension, and take responsibility for action.

Basic Principles of Meeting Design

by Eric de Groot & Mike van der Vijver Into the Heart of Meetings is a book about the essential processes that take place during meetings and how to influence these processes through Meeting Design in order to obtain the best outcomes. Into the Heart of Meetings is the first book ever about Meeting Design, a new profession that has taken shape over the past 10 years but that is still far from mature. The authors introduce the main principles that underlie the profession, as well as the main practical issues that Meeting Designers face and need to solve. As a result, Into the Heart of Meetings is both an explorative study and a textbook. Its enormous number of practical cases puts the content in day-to-day working practice.
