Meetings are the best of times, and meetings are the worst of times. Why are meetings so important? For one, they are the lifeblood of institutional action. Without meetings and the communication and agreement they can engender, no (big) action can take place. With few exceptions, most people who run meetings have had no training, no study and no coaching to run meetings. Few people think about how that 20-minute discussion about fishing--however important that topic is--just cost your team four hours because 12 people in attendance all had their time wasted! This book is specifically designed in three parts. The first part is 10 weekly or monthly lessons to run great meetings. These simple lessons can be covered in about 10 minutes each. Your team can dwell on each lesson for the whole week or month. Master it and move to the next lesson. The second part of the book is a detailed review of every area of meetings from agendas to assessments. Each chapter covers a topic area in depth. The final section is over 100 ideas to improve your meetings that are usable today! 10 Minutes a Week to Great Meetings will provide you with a great return on your time in the next, and every subsequent, meeting.

10 Minutes a Week to Great Meetings, 2nd Edition

My first article on maintenance was about choosing and implementing a computerized maintenance management system in truck fleet maintenance operations in 1984. Back then, there were two problems with this concept. First, it was difficult getting mechanics to write or type accurate and complete information about their repair or service. (It was common then to write and separately keypunch the data from work orders.) Second, getting an accurate asset register list for the names and basic attributes of all the maintainable assets was an issue. Sound familiar? These challenges have been the same for maintainers of the Roman roads, weaponsof Changping, as well as the International Space Station. Deterioration, defects and damage gradually or abruptly make the assets useless or, at least, less useful. In this book, I revisit some of my writings over the years to see if there are any continuing themes, good ideas and interesting changes in the maintenance management field. It turns out there are. Reading the trade press throughout time, one would think everything had been solved with new gadgets, software and high tech. Now, one tends to see things more clearly. Or, is it still an illusion? I have written columns on a wide variety of maintenance, reliability and personnel topics over the years. It is interesting to see the development of ideas over time, see predictions that worked out and others that didn't, visit some issues that are universal, have some fun in learning about maintenance, and provide some teaching in short, bite-size chunks. The solutions to maintenance problems are very detailed. The solutions to issues that face maintenance as a function require an expanded perspective. This book gets people into an extended frame of mind to look at the overall function, activity, personnel, support systems, and more. In the end, you'll look at maintenance management with a whole different perspective.
