When newly promoted team lead Joan walks into her first meeting, she's eager to prove herself, armed with an agenda, a plan, and a title that suddenly feels heavier than expected. She's prepared for logistics, timelines, and deliverables. What she isn't prepared for is the invisible current running beneath every interaction: the energy that can either elevate a team or quietly dismantle it. What Joan doesn't realize yet is that leadership isn't about control, compliance, or perfectly executed agendas. It's about presence. It's about reading the room, honoring the unspoken, and creating space…mehr

When newly promoted team lead Joan walks into her first meeting, she's eager to prove herself, armed with an agenda, a plan, and a title that suddenly feels heavier than expected. She's prepared for logistics, timelines, and deliverables. What she isn't prepared for is the invisible current running beneath every interaction: the energy that can either elevate a team or quietly dismantle it. What Joan doesn't realize yet is that leadership isn't about control, compliance, or perfectly executed agendas. It's about presence. It's about reading the room, honoring the unspoken, and creating space where people feel seen, heard, and energized to contribute. And in The Meeting Room, that lesson unfolds one conversation, one misstep, and one breakthrough at a time. Through Joan's journey from anxious new leader to confident facilitator of meaningful work, we meet a dynamic cast of coworkers who feel startlingly real: Charlie, the disengaged skeptic who checks out before the meeting even begins; Sheila, whose sharp tone masks deeper frustrations no one has bothered to address; Ravi, the quiet thinker whose brilliant ideas never make it into the conversation; and others who embody the challenges every leader faces: disengagement, conflict, miscommunication, power struggles, and the silent tension that fills every room where humans gather to "get work done." Each chapter brings Joan face-to-face with a new dynamic, a new test of her growing leadership. And each time, she learns that the real work of leadership happens not in the slides or the action items, but in the moments between: the pause before responding, the choice to listen deeply, the courage to shift course when the room tells you something isn't working. Author Rebecca H Mott weaves these richly human stories with her signature "Meeting Magic Tips" and "Rebecca's Rules"-practical, actionable tools for transforming ordinary meetings into intentional, energizing moments of clarity and connection. These aren't generic management platitudes; they're earned wisdom, battle-tested strategies that help leaders like Joan (and readers like you) navigate the messy, beautiful complexity of bringing people together. As Joan learns to navigate the unseen forces that shape every team dynamic, trust, safety, belonging, respect, readers learn alongside her how to:Lead with calm, clarity, and purpose, even when the stakes are high Manage energy before managing people, because culture isn't built in annual reviews; it's built in every interaction Create meetings that inspire, not drain, spaces where people leave feeling energized rather than depleted Read the room and respond with empathy, not just efficiency Transform conflict into collaboration and silence into contribution Part story, part playbook, The Meeting Room invites readers to rethink what leadership really looks like when structure meets humanity, when process serves people rather than the other way around. It's for the new manager who's discovering that a title doesn't come with a manual. It's for the seasoned leader who knows something's missing but can't quite name it. It's for anyone who's ever sat in a meeting and thought, There has to be a better way. Because there is. And it starts with understanding that every meeting is an opportunity, not just to move work forward, but to move people forward, too. The Meeting Room is a guide, a mirror, and a reminder that the best leaders don't just run meetings. They create moments that matter. Because the truth is simple: without presence, the room runs you. With it, you run the room.
