Whether you're planning a meeting of adversaries, a conference, or a social event, Priya Parker's book is jammed-packed with advice on how to make the most of the gathering. Parker's background in public policy, organizational design and conflict resolution makes her the go-to person on what to do and what not to do to bring people together in a true meeting of the minds, and how to get people to leave their superficial, sanitized thoughts behind when they enter the gathering. She shares scads of information on events she had been tasked with organizing and how she was able to give participants a safe way to share their ideas, beginning with planning the initial invitation, through the set-up for the meeting itself, and how to nurture the conversation throughout the event.
I found this book fascinating.
