According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual loss to the business sector from unnecessary meetings is $37 billion. Additionally, mid-level managers spend 25-60 percent of their time in meetings, with top executives spending up to 90 percent. And what is the result? Most researchers believe that up to 50 percent of time is wasted. In this modern era of remote team management, effective strategies for productive meetings are more crucial than ever. In just one hour of training, you will learn how to make meetings productive by inviting the right people, building a strategic agenda and getting positive participation from attendees.
