How to Make Meetings Produce Stay on task, on topic, and on time to eliminate meeting mayhem 1-Hour CareerTrack CD-ROM — Now Available! Do you dread attending meetings at work? Do you find yourself tuning out, watching the clock, and wondering why your meeting was scheduled in the first place? Would your meetings benefit from having a clear purpose, attendees who have an interest in making the meetings a success, and an organizational nature that results in valuable take-aways, to-dos, and next steps? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual loss to the business sector from unnecessary meetings is $37 billion. Additionally, mid-level managers spend 25-60 percent of their time in meetings, with top executives spending up to 90 percent. And what is the result? Most researchers believe that up to 50 percent of that time is wasted. From unidentified roles of meeting participants to the lack of a coherent meeting agenda, it's all too easy for meetings to get off topic and out of control. With this training, you will learn to run and participate in effective meetings that will save everyone time in the long run.

Ineffective handouts and materials that keep you from moving forward? Too many or too few participants — or simply the wrong attendees altogether?
