Run effective virtual meetings

With many of us now working from home, we're going to have to get used to attending many more virtual meetings. But how do we ensure that these meetings are run well and are effective for everyone involved?

In Chapters 13, 14 and 15 of Influencing Virtual Teams, Hassan Osman shares tips to ensure that you are running the right meetings at the right time, and running them in the most effective way. You'll learn that we attend too many meetings (a quantity problem), and second, we attend too many bad meetings (a quality problem), but that virtual meetings can be essential for getting people on the same page when things get confusing, and in terms of getting things done. You'll discover what you should be doing before, during, and after every meeting in order to reduce both the quality and quantity problems with your meetings.

It's worth noting that many of these tips apply equally well to in-person meetings too, so the good habits that you start now will be useful even when we can return to co-located working.
