The Ladybird Book of the Meeting (Ladybirds for Grown-Ups) Book

People at work spend a lot of the day in meetings. Meetings are important because they give everyone a chance to talk about work. Which is easier than doing it. If you ever find yourself sitting in meetings, wondering ‘What on earth are we doing?’, then this handy guide will help you through. The corporate world can be stressful, intimidating and, at times, plain confusing. Sometimes, it can seem as though you just attended one meeting in order to arrange another. Occasionally, it may occur to you that you would have whizzed through your workload, if it were not for all these meetings. Thank goodness for PowerPoint presentations and multiple, colour-printed hand-outs. "It’s enough to make Peter and Jane choke on their watercress sandwiches." – The Independent Do you ever find yourself longing for a simpler time? That time before the horrors of speed-bumps, automated supermarket checkouts and infernal switchboard options; the days when telephones had wires and a reassuring rotating dial, a tweet meant birdsong and Brexit might possibly have meant a new kind of breakfast cereal? Fear not, for you are not alone. What you need are the new manuals for our times, simple primers for the everyday predicaments we find ourselves in. Dear friend, what you need is a Ladybird.
