Managers may have to organize corporate meetings in order to discuss business issues of importance. These discussions allow them to address concerns and questions of team members, discuss the advantages of changes and provide any unclear information. This will help to eliminate resistance to change, and improve team performance.
Corporate meetings may also be held to discuss the financial health of a business and new strategies or projects and to make decisions regarding any crucial business decisions. These meetings can be attended by the CEO, the board of directors, or shareholders. These meetings may be held in person or online depending on the subject matter they could be long. It is important that these meetings be conducted professionally and that the minutes accurately reflect the discussions. It is also helpful to have a designated leader or moderator during these sessions.
