Meeting Management
A test before you book, agendas written as results, and the final five minutes that decide the value.
What you'll get: A one-hour meeting with eight people doesn't cost an hour — it costs eight person-hours, and weekly that's over four hundred a year. This ~80-minute course treats meetings as an expense: three kinds of meeting and the most abused one, a three-question test with four alternatives to meeting at all, results agendas with times, the four roles that must be present, the two opening minutes, four phrases for the over-talker and the silent one, a final five minutes that lands who does what by when, five-line minutes within 24 hours, adjustments for online meetings, and a quarterly review of recurring meetings.
Who is this course for?
- New managers chairing their first meetings
- Anyone whose calendar is being filled up by meetings
- Anyone who wants meetings to end in decisions rather than in time running out
After this course, you will
- Decide which meetings don't need to exist
- Write results agendas and invite the right people
- Keep the pace and make sure the quiet people are heard
- Close with who does what by when, and send five-line minutes within 24 hours
