Description

Certain meetings are crucial to move a project forward, resolve a situation, or make a delicate decision. The pressure generated by the importance of operational issues combines with the complexity of relational issues between participants who have divergent interests. In this type of context, traditional leadership skills are not enough to move the group towards the objective. A more strategic approach to the meeting is essential to anticipate reactions and encourage joint work. The 'Successful strategic meeting' training provides analysis tools, a method and effective practices to achieve your objectives in this type of situation.
