About this ebook
Meetings are a key part of office life in the 21st century, but frequently last much longer than expected and fail to lead to concrete decisions, leaving participants frustrated and demotivated. Nonetheless, thanks to careful planning, preparation and focus, it is possible to hold productive meetings with engaged participation and effective joint decision-making.
In 50 minutes you will be able to:
• Prepare effectively for any meeting by making sure you have all the necessary materials and information
• Ensure that all participants contribute to the discussion and that time is not wasted in off-topic discussions
• Monitor the outcome of the meeting and ensure that the decisions agreed on are implemented
