Critique of the Meeting Conduct


While the meeting covered a wide range of topics, its effectiveness was hampered by poor time
management, lack of focus, and dominant personalities. The chair could have been more assertive in
keeping the meeting on track and ensuring everyone's input was valued. Hence, Better preparation
and organization could have improved the overall efficiency of the meeting.
