Given the importance and the amount of time devoted to meetings, it is quite surprising to learn that almost one-third of time spent in meetings is unproductive. In fact, research has shown that less than three-quarters of meetings actually achieve their intended outcomes. This course through the use of videos, lecturettes, and group discussion, provides valuable information and tools to assist meeting participants in becoming more efficient and effective. Individuals may have different expectations of the work relationship and different ideas of what the acceptable range of behavior is. This course gives work groups a chance to discuss the problems they perceive with their present patterns of communication, and allows the opportunity to generate a list of ground rules around which the group can build agreement.
Experiential activities provide for interaction and skill building.
