Chairing and recording meeting minutes effectively at boardroom level is an essential skill for today’s Managers and Senior Leaders. Successful meetings provide an essential forum for planning, debate, sharing information, collaboration and decision-making.
This web workshop provides attendees with the vital skills and techniques for creating the right agenda and leading concise, structured and productive meetings with meaningful outcomes and clear actions. Taking board meeting minutes is time-consuming and requires attention to detail, they are a log of key decisions that future board members can reference.
This second part of the session will explore the role of the Chair in leading meetings and ensuring the best outcomes. It will provide guidance on carrying through the role of chair and how to ensure full participation and commitment from everyone present. The session will explore the importance of time management and will consider some of the difficulties that can confront the Chair.
