While some of the most effective meetings are the meetings you realize that you
don't need to have (see the first bulleted item below), most meetings are not just
unavoidable but absolutely necessary. You want them to be focused, clear of purpose and
of utmost value to the attendees.
This PowerPoint slide show offers these steps to achieving those objectives:
- Don't meet (i.e., know when you should communicate by other means, or not at
all)
- Set specific meeting objectives
- Provide an agenda in advance
- Assign meeting preparation
- Assign action items
- Examine your meeting process. What worked? What went wrong?
The slide show explores each item in greater detail, allowing you to maximize the
effectiveness of those important meetings. This includes recommendations on how to
reign in the "verbose" and better control meeting time lengths. It'll even coach you on
how to deal with the occasional "difficult" personality that crops up now and then in
every organization.
