Effective Meetings Seminar

Boards, committees, teams, task forces -- executives, managers, specialists and anyone who chairs or participates in meetings.

Meetings, once an almost exclusive activity for high level employees, now include shop-floor workers and office clerks. Employees at any level may be chairpersons or members of boards, committees, teams, and task forces. Higher-salaried employees still attend the most meetings, waste the most time and lose the most dollars in time and performance. Effective meetings maximize the use of everyone's time.

Get more done without wasting meeting time! Understand individual roles, and clearly define purpose and topics. Set agenda guidelines: preparation, content, distribution, support materials. Decide who should attend, based on needed contributions. Schedule meetings effectively: frequency, day, time, length. Know how to function in the absence of any key player. Know what to do when agenda outlasts meeting time. Handle problem participants, professionally. Decide if minutes are necessary and who should receive them. Follow-up to ensure that decisions and commitments are accomplished.
