  • Overview

    About the training video

    To demonstrate that chairing a meeting is not just about getting the procedures right, but also about getting people to work together.


    Training programme for better meetings

    An ideal companion to Meetings, bloody meetings, this programme sees a return of the guilty manager, who dreams he is back in court, this time charged with neglecting the human aspect of his meetings. His misdemeanours are replayed as evidence, from failing to prevent a squabble, to allowing the discussion to go off at a tangent and then allowing himself to be railroaded into a poor decision.

    Suitable for managers and any staff responsible for holding meetings, this engaging programme humorously presents ideas that can be hard to explain, showing the necessity of involving everyone in the decision-making process and ensuring that they understand key points at all stages.


    Your training delegates will be able to...

    -Achieve harmony and unity of purpose in their meetings
    -Make meetings more productive and effective by mobilising everyone present


    Training resources include
