Effective meetings support and edify the vision and the mission of an organization. Learning the facilitation skills to leverage the time and energy your human resources pour into meetings can improve focus, create balance, increase productivity, and leave your team feeling fulfilled. In essence, meetings are held to create the strategies, systems and smarts needed to reach the objectives that support the vision. You need the "know-how" to hold people accountable, make quality decisions, and strategically move people to take action with integrity. This course explores the nuts and bolts of meeting preparation, execution, and follow-up integrated with solid leadership/management theory.
