The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, November 4, 2015, from 1-2 pm ET (10-11 am PT).? Last week we talked about how hiring managers can reduce the cost of hiring, and this week we're going to talk about how to make meetings worth everyone's time. Meetings have been the bane of business since the beginning of business time. Too many of us feel that meetings are time-wasting, energy-sapping affairs. Most meetings feel like useless gatherings endured at the expense of the real work that needs to get done. But the good news is that meetings can be places where people do meaningful work, make plans, reach decisions, make commitments, and grow and develop and where everyone decides to get behind a task. Changing meetings from time wasting to time valued from energy sapping to energy producing, requires a different approach to designing, leading, and contributing in meetings. It means a change in direction. It means making new choices. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-founders and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman as they talk about how to make meetings worth everyone's time with this week's guests: Dick and Emily Axelrod, founders of The Axelrod Group, Inc., a consulting firm that pioneered the use of employee involvement to effect large-scale organizational change. Thank you to all the TalentCulture sponsors, partners and supporters!
