TAKING MINUTES IS NOT SCARY WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING

 

     If your manager or executive recently asked you to take minutes at a meeting and your heart fluttered with panic, it's time to get hold of yourself. Taking minutes at meetings appears scary at first glance -- until you know exactly what minute taking really is and how to do it. That's one way you develop confidence in yourself in regard to minute taking: know what you're doing before you have to do it!

 

    Indeed it would be scary for both you and the person for whom you're taking minutes if you intend to take minutes "by learning as you go" with no training and no concept of what are minutes and what is meant by minute taking.
  
     If you've never taken minutes at meetings or never do this task as well as you'd like to, then these publications listed below should improve your minute-taking skills significantly.

 

     That's true whether you are an administrative professional or hold any type of position that requires you to take minutes for your company or organization.
