Meetings About Meetings: The Corporate Time-Wasting Olympics
By Kate Henry, CPA, CMA, MBA
 
Welcome to the gold-medal sport of corporate inefficiency.
If you’ve ever attended a meeting to plan another meeting… this book is for you.
 
Meetings About Meetings is a hilariously sharp memoir that captures the absurd reality of today’s workplace—where calendars are full, outcomes are vague, and “quick syncs” are anything but quick. From the 9-step process to schedule a 30-minute check-in, to the mysterious role of “the facilitator,” this book pulls back the conference room curtain on the greatest time-sink known to man: the corporate meeting.
 
Inside these pages, you'll survive:
The soul-draining paradox of being “free” on your calendar—but never truly free.
Meeting invitations with no agenda, no purpose, and no end in sight.
The dreaded feedback loop of “circling back” and “parking it for now.”
Facilitators who ask “What’s coming up for you right now?” and other existential threats.
Strategic alignment sessions that align exactly nothing.
With brutal honesty and dry wit, Kate Henry—a seasoned finance executive turned corporate satirist—delivers a rallying cry for professionals who dream of doing real work instead of just talking about it.
 
If The Office had a book club, Meetings About Meetings would be at the top of the list.
