Many books have been written to explain how to lead better meetings. Rather than review the well-known principles of running a meeting, The Big Book of Meeting Games starts where other books leave off by giving meeting leaders dozens of 5-minute, fun activities to use right in the middle of a meeting. Each game is designed to help make a meeting more creative and more productive. The games in the book help meeting leaders accomplish the most common meeting objectives such as: - brainstorming and creative thinking; - solving problems; - reaching consensus; - making sure everyone's opinion is heard; - making group decisions. Games in the book also help solve common meeting problems and frustrations by: - breaking the ice for participants who don't know each other; - engaging and energizing meeting participants; - helping meetings start and end on time. The book makes use of many traditional facilitation and decision-making tools such force-field analysis and fishbone diagrams, but turns these intimidating productivity tools into quick, fun activities that can be used in any business context.
