Course Outline
Understanding Ourselves and Others
- Understanding that when we ask others to attend a meeting we are imposing upon them our list of priorities
- What makes us behave the way we do?
- Are we aware how our behaviour affects others: do they always respond in the way we want them to and in the way that they should? If not, why not…?
The Process for Managing Meetings
- Why is a meeting necessary; what are the alternatives; are any of the alternatives preferable?
- The process for calling, managing and preparing for meetings:
- Creating a meaningful agenda covering the objectives for the meeting, the subject(s) to be covered and suggested timings
- Inviting only the right people – and nobody else
- Managing the meeting: allowing only relevant contributions (but being careful to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant); keeping to the agenda; keeping to time
- Creating outputs: not necessarily detailed minutes but, at least, actions points
- Arranging follow-up meeting(s)
Attending Meetings
- Do I need to attend all the meetings to which I am invited?
- How do I decide whether (or not) to attend meetings?
