Overview:

Ask managers what part of their job they find most taxing and tedious and the answer is sure to come in a loud and unanimous voice - Meetings. Too many, too often with too few results. Nothing seemed to get accomplished; the agenda was unclear; people were late…or didn't even show up.

Let's face it. Meetings have a bad reputation; They are time wasters. The best you can hope for is to get through them. Right? It doesn't have to be that way. If the meetings you manage are not working, you can fix them. But only if you understand what it takes to make a meeting work. Learn how to lead meetings that are focused, productive, participative, and even fun!

Why should you attend: How many meetings did you have this week? And how many of them were amazing experiences? The real truth is that while we love to meet - at football games, restaurants and movie theaters - we absolutely hate meetings. Why?

Because most business meetings in are a waste of time. Yet, meetings are a crucial tool for driving high-growth and high-impact organizations. Unfortunately very few managers run successful meetings. Productive, valuable, and engaging meetings require a clear goal, an open dialog, and a strong leader.
