Welcome back to Business English Pod for today’s lesson on how to manage the discussion during a 영어로 회의.
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 의견. It also means widening the discussion, moving to a new agenda item, and checking for agreement.
이번 강의에서는, we’ll rejoin a meeting about budget cuts at an international shipping company. 남자 이름, 총괄 관리자, is facilitating the meeting. 우리는 또한 산드라를들을 것입니다, Sam, and David, three employees in the meeting.
