Recently the subject of meetings has come up often. Many people go to a lot of meetings and wish that these were more effective. I've added a link to a nice website called Effective Meetings, where you can find a lot of simple, practical ways to improve your meetings. Although many of these concepts are basic and may seem obvious, like so many other things, the key is to do them! As always, your feedback is appreciated!
Effective meetings are a great place for people to share information, ideas and creativity. They are also a powerful management tool to make decisions and get things done.However, we all have heard the joke: A horse is a camel designed by a committee.Meetings can very easily become a time and resource consuming activity dominated by indifference, hostility, stifling etc. Meetings need not be a waste of time but a productive learning experience and an opportunity that people look forward to.
