Week 6 Blog Directions: Effective meetings
Introduction
In week 6, your focus has fallen on strategic leadership and your individual skills. However, for this blog, we will take a small detour and explore something fun to discuss – effective (or ineffective) meetings! As a leader you definitely do not want to be consider “The one that has meetings just to have meetings”. Enjoy!
Blog Directions:
For this blog, focus on the following questions:
• Discuss the parts of conducting effective meetings.
• Consider times you have been in a meeting and considered it a waste of time. What were the factors?
• How is technology (Google, Skype,etc.) impacting the way we meet? What were the outcomes of the ineffective meeting? Be specific.
• How could that experience have been improved?
• What are some of the factors that could increase team cohesion?
• How is team-centered leadership the same and different than the leader-centered approach?
Be specific and support with external references.
