“Productive meeting” may sound like an oxymoron. The more common experience is a meeting that participants consider a waste of time because it achieves no purpose. With this module teams evaluate their meeting processes, learn the characteristics of effective team meetings, and develop ways to make future meetings more productive.

Use “Improving Our Team Meetings” to:

• Ensure meetings accomplish a purpose
• Teach team members how to prepare for and participate in meetings
• Teach members effective meeting tools
• Fix meetings that have lost focus

Scheduling time: 1-2 hours
