The time spent in meetings costs businesses a considerable amount of money. In most organisations people hold meetings to share information, to problem-solve or because there is a ritual to hold a meeting. Unless there is a valid reason to hold a meeting, with the correct people, and where the correct issues are discussed and acted upon, the outcome will be cost or time effective. This activity helps participants to plan, prepare and lead effective meetings.
You discuss with the group the purpose of holding a meeting, how to prepare for a meeting and the role of the meeting leader. Then the skills of the meeting leader are discussed, including methods for encouraging participation at meetings. Finally, a volunteer leads a meeting and receives feedback on their performance.
