“Meeting Effectiveness”

July 12, 2012

CHALLENGES OF CONDUCTING EFFECTIVE MEETINGS:
As a facilitator of meetings you must
1) FOCUS in the preparation phase;
2) develop FUSION in the meeting phase and
3) identify elements of the FUTURE for the follow-up to the meeting.
Consensus seeking skills and other decision-making options will help a leader make the most of meetings.

Questions to consider about meetings:
Who should attend?
Do we start on time/stop on time?
Is the meeting for information only or should the participants make decisions or a combination?
Are attendees notified to be prepared about topics for discussion?
Should the meeting be held at all?

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
