  Category: 1666
  Credits: 0.5
 
 
  Objectives: After completing this course, participants should be able to: • Challenge the attitude that productive staff meetings are just a matter of luck • Know the ingredients of staff meetings that are productive and compelling • Establish a continuous quality improvement process so that staff meetings over time can be even more relevant to the needs of the organization
  Description: Very few people look forward to staff meetings; most see them as a waste of time because there is a lot of talk with little sustainable action. This does not have to be the case, but there needs to be a commitment to make meetings more productive. In fact, it is crucial that this occur since meetings are really essential to the success of the organization; very few staff can fully accomplish their work solely in the privacy of their own offices. This course will outline a series of procedures which will over time help meetings become more directly connected to the mission of the overall organization. It will not happen immediately but if a quality improvement process is used, as outlined, meetings will most certainly improve. Keywords: productive staff meetings; importance of trust; constructive use of conflict; meetings that people enjoy; behavioral expectations for meeting participants; meetings that accomplish goals; CQI for meetings
