Keeping Meetings on Track
 
Two Tools of the Trade
 
Our January Newsletter feature article "Making Meetings More Productive" created an unexpected buzz. In response, we wrote another article "The Power of Staff Meetings" in our April edition. Thanks to your encouraging comments, this month's article presents two tried and proven tools to boost meeting effectiveness.
 
So you want to tune-up your meetings. We hear you. Our readers have said "We spend more time in meetings than we do outside of meetings," and others have asked "Are there any tools that will improve our stressful meetings?"
 
The answer is yes! The two best tools are the "Meeting Activity Report" and the "Meeting Effectiveness Critique." We provide both here free for your use.

Read the entire article and access these proven tools.
