Meetings are often considered to be important to organizations as a means of communicating, but many people see them as extremely boring, confusing, and a often, even a waste of time. In fact, most of us can tell stories about frustrating or annoying meetings we have had to endure. The objective of this eLearning course is to provide a useful and effective approach to planning and better managing meetings in order to reduce the overall levels of frustration and make them more useful. We will look at whether a meeting is actually necessary in the first place, how to go about preparing for a meeting, how it should be conducted, and how it can be managed to a successful action-oriented conclusion. Most people complete the course in about an hour.
