Developing Management Skills

To have an effective meeting there must be a

chairman. The chairman has the responsability of lead,

control, clarify and summarize the discussion of the meeting. If he fails to perform his role, the meeting may turn into meaningless discussions of irrelevant subjects and even monologues.

What is the best strategy to ensure that a business meeting can effectively

achieve its goals?

1. Meeting Objectives2. Physical Arrangements3. Summarize The Main Point (Focus the agenda

on items relating to the same general topic, if possible.)

Three effective tips to avoid problems experienced in a

business meeting.

These are some reasons of meeting To receive a report; To coordinate efforts of a specific nature and

obtain group support; To win acceptance for a new idea, plan, or

system; To reconcile a conflict; To negotiate an agreement; To motivate members of a group;

Stablish the objectives of the

meeting

Among the more important are:

The convenience of the place. The size of the room. It should not be too large or

too small. A small room presents a friendlier atmosphere than a large, sparsely filled one.

The seating arrangement and the availability of extra seats if needed.

The lighting, heating, and ventilation. Any visual aids required and their proper use.

Physical Arrangeme

nts

Begin with a discussion of topics of major

concern to participants; then, if necessary, discuss related topics of lesser importance.

Focus the agenda on items relating to the same general

topic, if possible.

A meeting requires fewer attendees and generates better participation in the discussion.
