Effective Meetings: Complete Series

It’s not uncommon to have spent time in meetings that we wish we could get back. If that makes you anxious about the meetings that you’re responsible for, this book will set you free.

Effective Meetings: Complete Series guides you through the three parts of successful meetings: chairing the meeting, crafting the agenda, and taking minutes.

In this book you’ll discover:

• how to manage meeting behaviours and raise the quality of discussion
• how to create an agenda that keeps attendees engaged and on track
• how to control and collect votes for any kind of meeting—in person, online, or hybrid
• how to manage confidential topics, conflicts of interest, and other delicate items
• the six-step framework for decision-making in meetings that keep your organization aboveboard and beyond reproach
• two overlooked agenda items that will make your meetings even more effective
• how to take great minutes that people will thank you for

The book includes a comprehensive list of to-dos and sample policies. Use these to formalize and refine your meeting practices and align them with your group’s values.

Even if you only attend meetings, Effective Meetings will help you polish your behaviour and skills. You’ll participate with more confidence, and when opportunities open up, you’ll be ready for bigger roles.
