Meeting Effectiveness – Leadership

This week, tens of thousands of business professionals will be presented with a seminal opportunity to perform in the spotlight of one of the most important stages in business.

 

Unfortunately, many of these professionals don’t realize that these pivotal opportunities come in the form of leading meetings, and the performance they demonstrate while leading these meetings will greatly impact the perceptions others have of them, and ultimately the trajectory of their careers.

Are You Missing An Opportunity In Your Business Meetings?

Business meetings create a unique opportunity to showcase skills unlike any other situation in corporate America. They represent a microcosm of professional capabilities (leadership, organization, technical and communication skills) that will either be exposed or exalted during your time in the conference room (or on the conference bridge).

Like a pitcher taking the mound, a musician stepping onto the stage, or a presidential candidate taking the podium, business meetings provide professionals with an exceptional platform to create a lasting impression on your audience.

Executing Meeting Leadership

The importance of performing well at this stage cannot be overstated. The research reveals that a large majority of meeting participants believe meetings are a significant waste of time. A prominent study by Microsoft that surveyed 38,000 people in 200 countries revealed that 69% of time spent in meetings was deemed to be unproductive.

It’s a logical conclusion to assume that the vast majority of meeting leaders are contributing to this unacceptable waste, and therefore are being exposed in the process.

Positive Lasting Impressions

So the obvious question is… What kind of impression will you make this week?
