How much time does your organization waste in unfocused, unengaging and unproductive virtual meetings?

Virtual meetings are on the rise. Unfortunately, most meeting leaders don't know the strategies for executing masterful virtual meetings. As a result, most virtual meetings:

• Don't start on time because people have difficulty with the technology
• Don't have a defined purpose due to lack of preparation
• Don't keep people engaged due to escalated multi-tasking
• Don't address conflict because the leader often doesn't see the body language information that communicates silent disagreement
• Don't deal with dysfunction because the meeting leader is distracted with the technology
