More Bloody Meetings: The People Side of Meetings

Business meetings are the ideal opportunity for colleagues to exchange ideas and contribute to decisions. But unless the chair has effective people management skills, even the most crucial meeting can become conflict-ridden and unproductive.
This is an ideal introduction for managers who want to manage behaviour in meetings and ensure they are as productive and effective as possible.
The course focuses on how to counter obstructive behaviour, recognise the characteristics of a good meeting and devise an action plan to improve your meeting management skills.

You'll learn how to:

• Unite the people taking part in meetings
• Eliminate bad meeting behaviours such as aggression, rambling and irrelevant contributions
• Involve everyone present in decisions
• Avoid taking sides during meetings
• Focus and mobilise the meeting group

You'll work through the course online, where you'll complete a series of exercises. All you need is access to the internet.

Famous faces including John Cleese and Caroline Quentin will show you how to deal with people in meetings.

The course follows a manager who dreams he is in court, charged with neglecting the human aspect of his meetings. As he learns from his errors - failing to prevent a squabble, allowing the discussion to go off at a tangent and letting himself be railroaded into a poor decision - you'll explore new techniques to get people working together during meetings.

Set in everyday surroundings, these well-known performers act out realistic situations in an entertaining way that will help you recognise and correct some common errors. The familiar settings and witty role play will help you to apply the material to your own workplace.

Before you begin you'll take a short test to help identify any knowledge gaps. As you work through the course you'll be presented with simple exercises to check your learning.

You'll have access to this course for six months from the date of purchase - giving you plenty of time to finish your course.

• Establish a more thorough decision making process
