Course Overview
In 2005, talent development and coaching firm conducted a survey in the United States with findings that 25 million hours per year were spent in meetings in the U.S. alone, and almost half of those hours were unproductive time wasted.
Another survey reports that 40 to 60 per cent of most managers’ working hours are spent in meetings. Your career essentially depends on profitable meetings. Meetings cannot be escaped. Meetings are important to establish understanding, devise solutions, and get things rolling.
If you are managing work, implementing new projects, accumulating, and evaluating results, then you will always be involved in meetings. Your opportunity in business depends on your skills to run successful, effective, and productive meetings.
But many times we have experienced poorly managed meetings where the discussions go round in circles, and nothing result-oriented is accomplished. Do you want to discover how to administer a results-oriented meeting? Do you need to stop squandering time with an unfruitful meeting?
