4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent primer on how to facilitate a meeting,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Make Meetings Work: The New Interaction Method (Paperback)
This book offers a thorough grounding in Facilitation 101. A section I found particularly useful was the one which addressed problem-solving. This section takes the reader through the process step by step. I wish the book offered more practical exercises for facilitators to use in their work. But since there are other books devoted entirely to exercises, this is a minor complaint.

the handbook of successful meetings,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Make Meetings Work: The New Interaction Method (Paperback)
Doyle/Strauss have written the classic in meeting design, facilitation and management. It is easy to read and use; the standard guidbook that everyone uses.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Still invaluable despite its age,
By AliMac "alilondon" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Make Meetings Work (Paperback)
I first came across this book when studying for an MA in Conflict Transformation in the late 1990s, as it was required reading on one of my courses. I am currently writing up a doctoral research project that has been examining how church staff teams deal with disagreement in their team meetings. Doyle & Strauss' book remains one of the few really helpful resources. Their analysis of what goes wrong at meetings is still spot on, despite all the technological changes. There is still much practical wisdom and advice that is vital for facilitators, recorders etc. They offer a range of tools and processes which remain useful and practical.
One downside for British readers is that the book is North American. A good British book to supplement this one is Catherine Widdicombe's Meetings That Work: A Guide to Team Working in Groups. Two other US books worth exploring are Patrick Lencioni's Death By Meeting, and Roger Schwartz's The Skilled Facilitator - but Doyle & Straus's book is much more accessible and readible than Schwartz's, and remains well worth getting. And that's presumably why it is still in print, after 35 years!
