The Tyranny of Emails and Meetings

The modern professional spends most of the working day responding to messages and sitting in meetings, and calls the remainder work. This book treats email and meeting culture as what it is: a governance failure that transfers cost from the people who call the meeting to the people who attend it, and from the sender to the recipient. It examines why organizations tolerate it, what it costs in decisions not made and work not done, and what a manager can change without waiting for the culture to change first.
