Time management – top tip for effective meetings – define the role of the chair
 
Do you have meetings where the conversation drifts, people talk on tangents and go off track? There is a simple solution.
 
Agree who will be chair and agree the role of the chair; to keep the meeting on track, to interrupt anyone who looks like they are going off on a meandering distraction, to end repetition, to halt disagreement if it looks like its going nowhere.
 
Once the role is agreed if anyone in the meeting does any of these things the chair has the right and the expectation to take control. And if they don’t others should suggest that they do. Defining the role makes it easy for that role to be successfully delivered.
