The ^ASurprising Science of Meetings
No organization made up of human beings is immune from the all-too-common meeting gripes: those that fail to engage, those that inadvertently encourage participants to tune out, and those that blatantly disregard participants' time.

Rogelberg draws from extensive research, analytics and data mining, and survey interviews to share the proven techniques that help managers and employees change the way they run meetings and upgrade the quality of their working hours.

Suddenly Virtual
Supercharge your virtual meetings with evidence-based practices from an award-winning team The shift to virtual meetings was sudden and often traumatic for businesses across all industries as they responded to the global pandemic. Rather than focusing on what worked best, they focused on what worked now . . . which meant closing up the office and being suddenly virtual in nearly every meeting, often without the tools, the training, or the expertise to optimize the new “kitchen table” office. Thankfully, businesses are beginning to be more purposeful in both the tools they use and the approach they take. This book seeks to be a definitive guide for businesses looking to make their meeting...

Summary of Steven G. Rogelberg's The Surprising Science of Meetings
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are reportedly 55 million workplace meetings in the United States every day. This number has increased dramatically over the past 40 years. The average person attends eight meetings per week, and managers attend 12 meetings per week. #2 There are a lot of meetings going on at work these days, and this is especially true for those who are at the top of the organization. The reason for this is that leaders are trying to gain employee buy-in and engagement, which are important to achieve short-term and long-term organizational survival and success. #3 The most basic way to calculate meeting cost is to consider time and salaries. For each attendee, calculate the amount of time in the meeting multiplied by his or her hourly salary. Then, add each attendee’s sum together. #4 There is evidence that meetings are draining the life out of individuals, teams, and organizations. However, there are some data suggesting that meetings are not as negative as they seem.

A new field of collective intelligence has emerged in the last few years, prompted by a wave of digital technologies that make it possible for organizations and societies to think at large scale.

Gathering insights from diverse fields, including philosophy, computer science, and biology, Big Mind reveals how collective intelligence can guide corporations, governments, universities, and societies to make the most of human brains and digital technologies.

The SAGE Encyclopedia of Industrial and Organizational Psychology
The well-received first edition of the Encyclopedia of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (2007, 2 vols) established itself in the academic library market as a landmark reference that presents a thorough overview of this cross-disciplinary field for students, researchers, and professionals in the areas of psychology, business, management, and human resources. Nearly ten years later, SAGE presents a thorough revision that both updates current entries and expands the overall coverage, adding approximately 200 new articles, expanding from two volumes to four. Examining key themes and topics from within this dynamic and expanding field of psychology, this work offers a truly cross-cultural and global perspective.
