conducting effective meetings
DESCRIPTION
When did you last join a work-related meeting that was productive and fun from the beginning till the end? That is, a meeting that had lucid objectives and a well-designed agenda; engaged all participants all the time; made them laugh; reached decisions; clarified follow-up actions; and secured commitment to achieve expected, positive, and constructive outcomes? Can you remember? Meetings are essential in any form of human enterprise. These days, they are so common that turning the resources they tie up into sustained results is a priority in high-performance organizations. This is because they are potential time wasters: the other persons present may not respect their own time as much as you have come to respect yours, and it is therefore unlikely that they will mind wasting your time. Generic actions before, during, and after can make meetings more effective. The Conducting Effective Meetings training program can be offered to Corporate Clients, SMEs, Private and Public establishments across India. All our programs are customized to suit the participants’ training needs. A detailed Training Design Document will be sent before the implementation of this training program.TRANSCRIPT
