Bep 43c – ミーティング英語: ディスカッションの管理
Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on how to manage the discussion during a 英語での会議.
Bad meetings can waste time and leave everyone confused. But a well-run meeting can help create new ideas, solve problems, and move a project forward. Running a great meeting is about more than just following an agenda. It means guiding the conversation effectively.
If you’re running formal meetings as a manager or team leader, this skill is essential. But even if just you’re a team member who wants to make sure your team has good discussions, it’s good to understand what’s behind running a meeting. And you never know when it might be your job to facilitate.
Good meeting management often means keeping the discussion focused and inviting different viewpoints or 意見. It also means widening the discussion, moving to a new agenda item, and checking for agreement.
