Thinking Together: Making Meetings Work

Thinking Together is an invaluable book for anyone who conducts discussions or participates in reasoning with others in the business, teaching, or communications fields. 

It provides specific guidance on analyzing situations, meeting goals, making and evaluating plans, and determining the causes of problems.

There are many books on how to run meetings, how to negotiate, how to persuade people, and how to manage organizations. 

But before this, there has been no book that explains how to acquire the skills you need to plan and lead discussion effectively. Vernon A. Howard and Jim Barton, authors of the ground-breaking classic Thinking on Paper, have applied the fruits of their research at Harvard to the process of presenting, defending, and challenging your own opinions and those of others. 

Through a dialogue of discovery, you learn not to win debating points or to manipulate others, but to come in contact with your own thinking so you gain wisdom and act wisely.
