Which do you believe is more crucial for a business meeting—the opening or the closing?
- Thread starter Shavkat
- Start date
I think both are important. When opening a meeting, the chairperson should make the purpose of the meeting clear, and be specific about the purpose of each agenda item. In closing the meeting, the chairperson should summarize the discussion during the meeting and identify the follow up actions.
I think closing is more crucial in terms of a business meeting as this is when decision is being made and things are finally rectified.
Both the opening and closing are crucial and the important to the business meeting.
Both are extremely important, how you start the meeting, how you approach the issues at hand would determine if you are to get a positive result or not. The ending also plays an equal role. How you end things with your staff during the meeting would determine if they okay with the outcome or not.
