Critics Review
“Meeting Wise offers a set of guidelines and case studies, with the aim of giving educators practical advice for improving the efficacy of meetings. The text is more than a handbook, however. Boudett and City seek to encourage educators to reconsider how they think about - and approach - the meetings they lead and attend. Educators need not view meetings as annoyances or distractions. Instead, the authors argue, these venues can be rich sources of collaboration and invention.” – Charlie Tyson, Inside Higher Ed
“Meeting Wise is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to gain value from his or her meetings. I, for one, will assign it to my leadership classes as a ‘gift’ title to enhance their skills and appreciation for collaborative learning.” – James J. Harrington, The Journal of Continuing Higher Education
“Highly recommended especially for educators; Meeting Wise is also an extremely useful resource for any career professional.” – Jennifer Simmonds, Midwest Book Review
“This is a short, practical book that I strongly recommend to any administrator. There is also useful advice on being a good meeting facilitator (rather than simply a chair) and on being a good participant. More importantly, when I finished reading the book, I could, in fact, imagine a time where I looked forward to meetings.” – Lee Skallerup Bessette, Women in Higher Education
