Imagine if surgeons complained about operating or conductors dreaded concerts. Yet executives everywhere bemoan what constitutes the essence of their role: meetings. Patrick Lencioni's "Death by Meeting" tackles this paradox through the story of Casey McDaniel, a video game company CEO whose job hangs in the balance. The book's counterintuitive premise has resonated with organizations from Apple to Microsoft: the problem isn't too many meetings-it's having the wrong kinds of meetings in the wrong ways. Casey's company, Yip Software, appears successful on the surface. They make popular sports video games in beautiful Monterey, California. But beneath this veneer lies mediocrity. The company operates at half its potential, with a workforce lacking passion despite making games in a stunning location. At the heart of this underperformance? The weekly executive staff meeting-lethargic, unfocused, and passionless. These gatherings had become a "necessary evil" rather than a competitive advantage, and the company's entire culture mirrored their lifelessness. What if meetings could be transformed from energy-draining obligations into the very engine of organizational success? What if they could become the thing that sets great companies apart from merely good ones?
