Six Steps to Productive Meetings

Overview

Meetings are a significant investment of time and money for any organisation - so it's important to make sure that when they do happen, they represent a worthwhile return on that investment and don't simply get in the way of everyone doing their job. Setting clear objectives, asking questions, creating a positive atmosphere and ending on a high are all part of leading great meetings that maximise everyone's contributions and reach a constructive conclusion.
