Nothing is more annoying and counter-productive than to have to deal with interruptions, which are often a result of participants at the meeting, including at times the chairman, not knowing the correct way of doing things . One often hears participants passing remarks such as ‘That was a bad meeting’ , ‘ the chairman made wrong decisions’, or the more positive ‘well, that was time well spent!’Key features of this book: Clarifying the rules; Getting things done efficiently at meetings; Useful for corporate libraries and Facilitate getting an inexperienced person acquainted with the subject
