In the business world, it is essential for everyone in the workplace to work together to get the job done, and this often involves meetings. For most of us, meetings are a part of the daily work routine, but as often becomes the case, that is what many meetings begin to feel like--routine. MEETING SKILLS FOR LEADERS (formerly titled EFFECTIVE MEETING SKILLS) is just the sort of back-to-basics guide to organizing and conducting productive meetings every manager, supervisor, or team leader needs to get ideas and find inspiration to energize and motivate their groups. Every aspect of planning and preparing for a successful meeting is covered, from selecting participants to arranging facilities and equipment and leading effective discussions. A special section on conducting virtual meetings, an increasingly common trend in the business world today, has also been added to this third edition.
