It was Alexander Graham Bell who told us “Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” Does that hold true for “meetings”? Harvard Business Review tells us we must learn how to master the “pre-meeting – the steps you need to take before a more formal meeting in order to prepare for it.” Why?
I remember when Rick Warren’s book Purpose Driven Life bounced to popularity. In 2005, a survey of American pastors and ministers conducted by George Barna asked Christian leaders to identify what books were the most influential on their lives and ministries.
