Meeting Reflection

 

In our group business meeting I think that the meeting was successful and it went in a good way as we expect it. Without the group’s hard work we wouldn’t accomplish a thing. Our leader has played his rule perfectly; he was the right man in the right place. Before the actual meeting, we had a practice meeting. In the practice meeting we learnt how write a business agenda and how to make a real business meeting. My job in the meeting was the minutes taker; which is in my point of view is a very critical and important job that needs a lot of responsibility, and writing the minutes was not easy. To be a good minutes taker you should be fast in taking the minutes, good listener and have a clear mind. Finally, in this meeting I learnt how to prepare for it, reserve the venue, place a time and inform the meeting participants.
