More
than One Way to Approach Leadership Development

business circumstances, individual executive coaching and
mentoring can be imperfect development solutions because they

executives must contend. Sometimes group-based leadership
development programs make more sense.

EXPRESS REQUESTS
Making
Meetings More Effective
Benjamin Franklin is credited
with the expression "time is money." Though business leaders may
claim to agree with this maxim in principle, reality is often
very different. Studies show that considerable work time is
spent in meetings. Yet meetings are often inefficient ways of
doing business due to competing agendas, limited time and
ineffective facilitation. With ever-increasing work/life
demands, organizations wishing to maximize their employees'
productivity may find it worthwhile to evaluate the number,
size, length and effectiveness of their internal meetings. To
receive resources on this topic, visit our Hot
Topics Express Request service and select key term

DEVELOPMENT).
