Managing Meetings

{tab=Overview}

By Richard Mulvey and Roger Knowles

Our surveys amongst South African business people indicate that we spend between 30% and 50% of our working day in meetings. Most meetings however, are about 25% effective. Meetings are a fantastic way to communicate but can also be a major waste of your time and in this work we explore ways to make your meetings shorter, and much more effective. This work is co-authored by Richard Mulvey and Roger Knowles, a well-known attorney, speaker and meetings specialist.

Up to 60% of your business day is lost to meetings. Meetings with your team; meetings with the board; meetings with customers and meetings with the bank. Then there are the club meetings, church meetings, school meetings, and the endless committee meetings. The list seems to go on for ever, but how many of these meetings are run properly? In this work Richard will describe the best approach to making your meetings a well run, efficient use of your time. We will look at the agenda and how they should be written, note taking, controlling difficulty meetings, having fun in meetings, and even have a look at group thinking and decision making in meetings. If you have to go to meetings in your life, this work will be the best investment you make this year
