HBR Guide to Making Every Meeting Matter

Make every minute count. Your calendar is full, and yet your meetings don't always seem to advance your work. Problems often arise with unrealistic or vague agendas, off-track conversations, tuned-out participants who don't know why they're there, and follow-up notes that no one reads-or acts on. Meetings can feel like a waste of time. But when you invest a little energy in preparing yourself and your participants, you'll stay focused, solve problems, gain consensus, and leave each meeting ready to take action. With input from over twenty experts combined with useful checklists, sample agendas, and follow-up memos, the HBR Guide to Making Every Meeting Matter will teach you how to set and communicate your meeting's purpose; invite the right people; prepare an achievable agenda; moderate a lively conversation; regain control of a wayward meeting; and ensure follow-through without babysitting or haranguing. Arm yourself with the advice you need to succeed on the job, from a source you trust. Packed with how-to essentials from leading experts, the HBR Guides provide smart answers to your most pressing work challenges.

[Spanish] - La Clave del Éxito

'La Clave del Éxito' es un libro escrito por el pastor baptista y orador motivacional Russell H. Conwell. La obra busca transmitir lecciones prácticas sobre la búsqueda del éxito y la felicidad en la vida cotidiana. La gente está pensando, pero puede pensar mucho más. El ama de casa piensa en los cambios químicos causados por el calor en carnes, verduras y líquidos. El marinero piensa en el oro del agua de mar, el soldado piensa en la pólvora sin humo y en los cañones amortiguados; el maquinista medita sobre los exprimidores de hierro y los hornos eléctricos; el agricultor admira las combinaciones mágicas de LUTER BURBANK en la vida de las plantas; la colegiala examina la composición de su lápiz y analiza el papel de escribir; el maestro estudia la psicología de primera mano; el predicador comprende mejor la vida actual; el comerciante y el fabricante prestan más atención a la demanda. Sí, todos pensamos. Pero seguimos pensando demasiado lejos; incluso el prisma a través del cual vemos las estrellas está cerca de los ojos. El dentista piensa demasiado en los dientes de los demás. Este libro se envía para inducir a la gente a mirar sus propios ojos, a recoger el oro de su regazo, a estudiar anatomía bajo la tutoría de su propio corazón. Uno podría acumular gran sabiduría y asegurar fortunas estudiando sus propias uñas. Esta lección parece la más fácil de aprender, y por esa razón es la más difícil.
