Governance Matters

Effective meetings: Why Chairing Skills Matter

South East Employers Season 1 Episode 4

Discover the art of effective chairing and governance with Councillor Knowles, the previous Mayor of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, as he draws from his extensive experience in local government meetings. Councillor Knowles reveals his strategies for creating an environment that encourages participation and curbs hostility, likening his role to that of a ringmaster orchestrating a respectful and constructive dialogue. We unravel his insights on the critical balance of legal knowledge, communication, and listening, which are all pivotal in making informed decisions and leading successful meetings.
