According to research, the average employee attends approximately 62 meetings in a month with about four hours of additional time a week (on average) preparing for those meetings, and those studied felt that half of those meetings are a complete waste of time; yet, meetings remain one of the most crucial tools for collaboration, problem-solving and decision making.
Obtaining employee engagement in meetings is a crucial leadership imperative.
For far too many organizational leaders, meetings are spent giving monologues to closed mouths and blank faces. Given that diversity of thought and ideas are critical to the project and organizational performance, it is essential that leaders find ways to allow their teams the opportunity to contribute and engage in meetings.
But how do we increase the contribution of team members who may not be comfortable doing so? What are the factors that keep your team from feeling safe to contribute freely in your meetings and from feeling safe in taking risks?
Within this self-paced, 3-hour workshop, you’ll learn the answers to these questions and build the skills necessary to accelerate your team members’ willingness and ability to speak freely and contribute fully in meetings.
