Effective managers are able to plan and execute efficient meetings. Describe how a manager should plan and conduct a second departmental meeting of all employees to discuss plans for participating in a company$-$wide charity event to benefit a local homeless shelter. What communication techniques and tools should be utilized? What should you do before, during, and after the meeting to ensure that all aspects of the meeting are effectively managed?

Once you have completed your meeting plans, carefully analyze the plan to determine if there are ways that you could improve the process and outcomes. Note all changes that you would make if you were to conduct a similar meeting in the future.
