Course Description
When not properly managed, a meeting can be a waste of time. Agendas are vague, attendees are not motivated to participate, and there are no concrete results. How to Run a Meeting reveals how to use proper preparation and problem-solving skills to make meetings succeed, every time. The course discusses the proper sequence of events to follow that lead up to a meeting. It also notes the different types of decision-making processes that can be used in a meeting, as well as the attributes of the ideal meeting leader. The course covers numerous other topics, including dealing with problem employees and the best meeting room layout. The outcome should be an immediate turnaround in the effectiveness of your meetings.
