Chairing and Leading Meetings - Online course

Duration: 1 day course with break and lunch time (10.00-15.30)

About

We’ve all been to meetings that don’t seem to be about anything, lack direction, don’t take clear decisions and seem to exist just for the sake of having them. We now have the opportunity to experience that both face to face and in virtual meetings – or not.

Well prepared and well managed meetings lead to effective decision making and makes best use of resources. This course looks at some the ways to do this.

Digital book (pdf) included: Speed Read: Meetings
