Running Effective Business Meetings
Erasmus+ KA-1 Course
Course Description
This course on running effective meetings trains professionals to understand the correct approach to planning, conducting, and participating in business meetings. This course will show how to send proper meeting notices, design powerful agendas, and how to make use of technology to become more efficient.
Meetings are essential to the business, but they can become one of the biggest time wasters in the organization. This translates into unwanted costs for the business. Studies have shown that teams squander 90% of their time repeating topics, showing up late, poor attendance, bad agendas, and improper planning. This will explore the bad habits that team members do not even realize they are doing, and look at steps on how to correct them.
This course will help develop the leadership skills needed to successfully run an effective meeting, but also show how to work with the individual team members. The course will help train leaders to manage all the different personalities they encounter during the meeting. This shows how to effectively navigate each individual and lead them achieving the goals of the meeting and organization.
