Kerry Packer once quipped that “meetings are events where minutes and taken and hours are wasted”.
This is unfortunately all too often the truth. Executives tend to spend hours every week on meetings, which may or may not be effective.
In workshops for mayors and councillors on effective chairing of council meetings, participants were often asked, “Does a good chairperson equal a good meeting and outcomes?”
The participants almost invariably said ‘yes’. This workshop will provide participants with the knowledge and skills to effectively chair and participate in meetings.
