Meeting

salam and good morning...
last thursday... (09/12/10)...
we learned about meeting by Assoc. Prof Khir Mohd Ashaari...
quite standard module for entrepreneurs program like this...
so, i did not expect more about this module...

in addition...
i was quite an active student during undergrad life...
i was representative for my residential college...
so, every month, at least we had one meeting...
there is one day, i must attend two meeting at one day...
and if i not mistaken... there are a day that i have two meeting at the same time...
so, meeting is normal for me...

but, surprisingly... 
i learn a lot of things in this module...
i cant even blink my eyes and not even sleepy at all...
although his presentation quite boring... because dont have any activity...

what i learn from this module???
now i know that my previous meeting is not an effective one...
and i know the importance of meeting minute...
and now i know that chairman should not talking too much...
and i know that secretary is a tough job...
i also know chairman can reject by member...
i also know each meeting member just have one chance to speak out their opinions...
i also know the importance of notice of meeting...
and a lot of things...

what the purpose of meeting???
the only purpose of meeting is to find decision...
only to find or create decision....
and, the effective and efficient meeting happen when...
we can make decision without wasting to much time...
because time is money...

why there are lot of meeting not effective and efficient...
because their member dont know the purpose of meeting notice...
when you get meeting notice...
you also get the agenda and time gap is about 14 days...
so, you all have a lot of time to make research, analysis about the agenda...
it can shorten the time of meeting...
notice of meeting also importance and the decision on the meeting can be challenge is there are error in meeting notice...

actually... i am hate when get minute of meeting...
for me, it waste the paper...
but....
minute of meeting is very importance...
it can be a evidence if there are case is court of law...
and if someone try to manipulate it...
they will be jail if found guilty....

and there are lot of knowledge that i gain...
my mind now open about meeting and if i'll become a leader in organization...
i'll make sure that my meeting is effective and efficient...

see you later...
