Set the Agenda; Identify What to Note; Write Accurate Minutes - Revised Second Edition
Minutes are vital to the success of meetings. Attendees rely on them for information they may have missed, and they serve as an essential communications tool for non-participants. In addition, the action points highlighted in minutes act as a timely reminder for the whole organization. Taking minutes involves listening skills as well as the ability to absorb information and summarize it simultaneously. The minute-taker is one of the most important and powerful people in a meeting. Although the tasks can be daunting, it is an opportunity to develop knowledge, broaden horizons and build credibility within the organization. Taking Minutes of Meetings is an accessible reference guide following the whole meeting cycle. Starting with organizing a meeting, it goes on to give reliable, hands-on advice about the sections of a meeting; the agenda; personal preparation; taking notes; accuracy; structuring notes; writing up the minutes and recording decisions and actions. It is aimed at anyone new to taking minutes and professionals looking to brush up their technique.
By the author of A Woman In Your Own Right. This book is for all women who lack confidence and want to improve their communication skills - but are not looking for major changes in their lives. It also advises on how to cultivate a more positive approach both in work and in relationships. Ordinary women have rights - the right to have opinions and have those opinions respected by others, the right to choose where to live, or who to marry, the right to consider personal needs, the right to refuse a request felt to be unjustified, the right to be successful, and the right to make a mistake. Joanna Gutmann shows how to assert personal rights in a reasonable and responsible way, whilst at the same time respecting those of others.
Tato publikace, jak sám název napovídá, je skutečnou cvičebnicí asertivity, přičemž asertivita v ní není čtenáři předkládána jako věda, ale jako praktické a konkrétní návody a postupy, jak vystupovat asertivně, čili jak prosadit svou, aniž by se čtenář musel učit cokoli jiného než to, co je mu v praxi prospěšné. Tedy spousta praxe bez velké teorie. Kniha je koncipována tak, že zároveň slouží jako "pracovní sešit".
