PRODUCTIVE WORK MEETINGS

 

AVOID LONG HOURS OF PURPOSELESS AND MEANINGLESS DISCUSSIONS AT WORK

ABOUT THIS BOOK

In general, it is estimated that business meetings are unsuccessful or unsuccessful in 25 to 50 percent of the cases. This means that they do not fulfill the purpose for which they were convened.

 

This problem generates more negative consequences than the loss of valuable time.

 

Each year, corporations lose approximately $37 billion in productivity due to wasted meetings because of organizational problems, frequency or lack of clear and shared goals.

 

Despite this gray outlook, business meetings, like it or not, are essential components of any work environment in the world and we cannot simply eliminate them. In fact, most people spend up to 37% of their work time in meetings.

 

So, whether you are the one in charge of convening regular meetings or you attend many of them as a participant, it is imperative to learn new techniques and tips to make them truly useful and leverage them for business growth.

 

With this series of tips you will learn how to choose the right people for a meeting, select the appropriate frequency, manage group stress, understand what topics and objectives to cover and, most important of all, what topics not to cover, among other things.
