About this course
The reasons for holding meetings are almost as numerous as the number of hours spent in them. Research shows that the average individual sits through 9,000 hours of meetings in a lifetime — over 365 days — and that organizations spend thousands-- sometimes millions-- of dollars on meetings. Yet most people groan at the thought of attending another meeting because meetings are often mismanaged. They get off track, are interrupted, take too much time, have unclear agendas, and lack effective leadership.
In this course, you will learn how to plan and conduct meetings that maximize participation and achieve desired outcomes. You will increase your understanding of the differences between task and interpersonal issues in a group, while learning about effective meeting practices, thus increasing your confidence to lead people in meetings that really mean business.
May be applied toward the Advanced Leadership Certificate.
