Running Great Meetings

This is a practical session for leaders who lose hours to meetings that go nowhere. Most meetings have no clear purpose, the wrong people, and a handful of voices doing all the talking. The session is itself a well-run meeting, so leaders feel the tools as well as learn them, and leave with a meeting they can run differently tomorrow.
