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.
