Managing Meetings

Effective meetings should bring the right people together for a specific purpose. They should provide an opportunity for discussion and deliver results such as decisions, a plan, or an understanding of the work and challenges ahead.

Managing meetings is one of the most expensive activities an organisation can carry out. The more senior you are in an organisation, the more often you attend meetings. But are these meetings always effective? Are they planned for and do they have a purpose and clear objective?
