Research has shown that employees spend an average of 21.5 hours in meetings every week and attend approximately 62 meetings every month. Given this posture, how does one determine if a meeting is necessary, meaningful in accomplishing its intended goals, and impactful such that people have the essential skills to effectuate decision-making and operate more efficiently?
This webinar will discuss when meetings are important to schedule and how to organize them. It also will provide some tools and techniques that can be utilized in guiding discussions, leading your team to decisions, and following through on action plans. Specifically, the webinar will focus on fundamentally preparing for meetings, determining whom to invite, managing them with prepared agendas and following designated topics, incorporating action planning, encouraging collaboration while minimizing conflict, concluding meetings, and ascertaining and summarizing action items.
The intended audience is for anyone who organizes or facilitates meetings in attorney general offices while primarily focusing on support and paraprofessional teams.
