Death by Meeting

A Leadership Fable...about Solving the Most Painful Problem in Business
Book • 2004
In this book, Patrick Lencioni tells the story of Casey McDaniel, the founder and CEO of Yip Software, who is struggling with unproductive and demotivating meetings.

With the help of an unlikely advisor, Will Peterson, Casey adopts a radical approach to transform meetings into engaging and productive sessions.

The book introduces a framework of four distinct types of meetings: the Daily Check-In, the Weekly Tactical, the Monthly Strategic, and the Quarterly Off-Site Review.

It emphasizes the importance of dramatic tension, conflict, and resolution in meetings to keep participants engaged and focused, ultimately improving team coordination, strategic planning, and overall work satisfaction.
