LEADING EFFECTIVE MEETINGS

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Course Description

As a manager, your role is not only to supervise but also to lead, develop and direct your employees individually and collectively to accomplish organizational goals. Making sure everyone is on the same page and moving in the right direction can be taxing, and learning how to lead an effective meeting helps move your team forward.

Have you ever been to a meeting and thought “that was completely a waste of time”?  Unproductive meetings waste valuable resources – lost time, money and potential opportunities. If you want to become better at leading productive meetings where all of your team is engaged, objectives are met, and people walk away with actionable items to complete to help move a project forward, this workshop is for you.

After this training, you will know how to craft a purposeful agenda, develop meeting norms, and facilitate group dynamics. You will learn to build accountability structures to ensure your team is completing their meeting deliverables, closing the work loop, and achieving the results you want.
