Communication Etiquette: Etiquette in the Workplace;

Participating in Meetings [LO-3], [LO-6] You have been asked by the chairperson of a group to observe a meeting she runs regularly.

She feels that it is unproductive and has asked you to make suggestions to improve its effectiveness. The meeting of twenty people starts at 16.45, fifteen minutes late because of late arrivals. The agenda is stated by the chair, who then allows individuals to talk after they raise a hand, but interruptions are frequent, and some participants talk to each other at any moment in the meeting.

Some participants contribute nothing.

Write a brief, diplomatic email offering helpful advice to the chairperson.
