DESCRIPTION

An integral part of our role as a professional in today's business environment is to participate in meetings, both as leader and contributor. At other times, we are called upon to assist different groups in conducting their business in a productive and professional manner so as to achieve the purpose for which they have been brought together.

To carry out these functions effectively, we must first understand the basics of good meeting management and how to get the very best from both ourselves and others in the meeting situation. In the facilitation role, we must be able to confidently manage groups comprising different personalities, expertise and positions while at the same time operating within the defined boundaries of our role.
