Do any of these problems leave you dissatisfied with the productivity of your meetings?

  • One or two people dominate and the others don’t contribute
  • People don’t come prepared
  • Time is wasted
  • Conflicts are not addressed
  • Decisions take longer than you would like them to

 

 

Conducted in the right way, meetings can be excellent forums for connection, alignment, creativity and commitment that will help the productivity of your organisation.
