Regardless of our role or organization, many of us spend at least some (if not most) of our working day in meetings. A recent survey on meetings found that almost 3 in 5 workers reported multitasking in status update meetings, and more than half would “rather do an unpleasant task” than participate in those meetings (Clarizen, 2015). Yikes! So how do you know if you are leading or attending good meetings? This webinar will review the components of a good meeting, and how meeting facilitators can identify and correct meetings that don’t deliver value to participants.
During this webinar, presenters will share:
- What makes a meeting good (and not so good)
- Strategies for meeting organizational needs without having a meeting
- Resources for facilitating productive and energizing meetings
