Meetings come in all shapes and sizes, from the convention to a quick huddle in an office hallway. This Two-day workshop will be concerned with small working meetings; with groups that have a job to do requiring the energy, commitment, and talents of those who participate.
Members of such a group want to get some kind of result out of their time together:
solving problems, brainstorming, or simply sharing information. At its best, such a group knows what it is about, and knows and utilizes the strengths of individual members.
Public
Managers, Heads of Departments, Supervisors, etc…
