Workshop Topic – Chairing Meetings
|
How many meeting minutes are wasted due to ineffective or untrained Chairs? Destructive arguments, poor attendee behavior, lack of summarizing and bad structure are the most common complaints people have given us as the result of poor chairing skills.
Research has shown that we can waste one day a month in unproductive meetings and poor chairing skills are one of the major factors. The chairing meetings workshop will help supervisors and managers who want to get the most from the meetings they chair by achieving clearly defined meeting outcomes, maximizing participant contributions and overcoming meeting challenges.
