Hospitals Work on Processes, Elements of Change Management
Matt Phillion, for HealthLeaders Media, March 19, 2010
The following are tips for effective meeting management:
- Communicate the agenda at the beginning of the meeting
- Develop and enforce meeting rules
Prevent interrupting when someone else is talking, and maintain a level of respect among participants as well.
Roles are important. Know who is:
- Leader
- Facilitator
- Timekeeper
- Note taker
And know how precious time is. End every meeting five to 10 minutes early to allow people time to get to their next meeting, Marshall said.
