Meetings, bloody meetings is the best-selling video that defines the five disciplines that transform a gathering into a professionally-run business meeting.
In a nightmarish court, a cynical manager is found guilty of failing to prepare himself and inform others of what a meeting was about (even omitting to invite all the relevant people); failure to plan the agenda; failure to control the discussion; and failure to record the decisions.
The judge demonstrates how the rules for running a meeting parallel those of a court and the chaos that would result if he ran his court in the same way.
The nightmare is so vivid that t he guiltyascharged manager resolves to apply the rules – as will your organisation’s staff when they view this very humorous, sharply observed parable.
The benefits
- Suitable for all staff who might be expected to organise and run meetings
- Key learning points are dealt with in clearly defined segments that can be reviewed and discussed
- The combination of a realistic business meeting and nightmare court makes it easy to understand the problems and the solutions
