Staff meetings can represent a significant outlay. Meetings with groups of staff require special skills to ensure an effective outcome. Your participants will learn the key skills.

Overview
Meetings represent a significant investment. Meetings can be motivational and help formulate creative plans with maximum ownership. Unfortunately many meetings, probably the majority, are boring and are a poor use of time. Managers/team leaders are also required to attend other internal meetings and customer meetings. The outcome of such meetings is often affected more by the skills employed than by the merits of a particular case. There are more meetings today than ever before. The skills of the manager/team leader in managing and attending meetings are now more important than ever before.

In this practical and stimulating course, participants will learn the key skills and techniques to ensure productive meetings.

Who Should Attend
Anyone involved in chairing and managing meetings for staff or other internal people.
