Perfect for a novice who has ideas, but no idea how to convince others to work on them. An antidote to Robert's Rules of Order -- which relegates unusual, innovative, and minority opinions to the dustbin of failed motion-seconds. The emphasis is on 1. Identifying the problem to be solved; 2. Gathering all the ideas on how to solve it; 3. Choosing the better ideas; 4. Getting agreement on the chosen solution(s) 5. Implementing.

This is a book that addresses unproductive meetings, and how to handle them and make them more efficient.
