Editor's Notes
- Leaders can either inspire people in meetings or drain their energy. Every meeting needs a leader who understands the purpose and can communicate that purpose to all participants. They should possess excellent time management skills that allows them to keep discussions on track while following the agenda. They ensure participation from everyone and they are responsible for key decisions made during meetings.
- The purpose of meetingsMost people do not like attending meetings – especially if they are not sure what the purpose of the meeting is, or if it goes on too long and achieves too little. Meetings must not be too frequent or held just for the sake of it. There must be a need for a meeting. There should be decisions about the different types of meetings needed. For example, some meetings could be to discuss policy and others to discuss organisation (practical work).Wherever possible the members must know what type of meeting they are going to and what the meeting is for – in other words, the PURPOSE of the meeting(http://www.etu.org.za/toolbox/docs/building/webmeetings.html)
- Don’t go into problem solving mode when conflicts arise, instead make note to set up a future meeting to address other problems.
