How To Make Your Meetings Great 'The Positive Way': An E-Guide for Managers

Stop meetings being a place energy and ideas go to die - make them productive and invigorating, make them great!

 Meetings have the potential to allow the whole to be greater than the sum of the parts by bringing a diversity of experience and knowledge together to create innovative, informed and holistic plans and solutions. Yet all too often they become bore-fests, or political jousting matches with disengaged participants fretting at the wasted time when there are so many other things they need to do.

In this guide I will show you how to give your meetings the best possible chance to be successful.
