How to be a Charismatic Chairperson – it’s more than running effective meetings.

In every workplace, on virtually any day, there will be one, six, ten, a hundred meetings and every one will be “led” by someone. Whether that person sees themselves as “chairing” the meeting or not, the other people do. And so every day throughout the world there are tens of thousands of people chairing meetings – it is perhaps the most common universal activity which occurs in workplaces in every part of the globe every working day.

What is it really costing your organisation to keep the people who have stopped contributing – the deadwood – and when is it time to bite the bullet?

Every organisation has them. Deadwood. The people who were once genuine assets but have quietly become liabilities. The committee member who turned up reliably for years and now attends erratically and contributes little. The staff member whose performance was once the benchmark and is now a daily management challenge. The board director who built their reputation in a different era and hasn’t kept pace with where the organisation needs to go.
