Managing and Influencing your Editorial Board

One in three meetings are not nearly as productive as they could be, and only 50% of members actively contribute. Most editorial board meetings have broad agendas and try to cover everything, but very few decisions are actually made. This course will provide you with the essential practical knowledge and skills to improve how your board operates, understand more about how to motivate your board members, and make your meetings highly effective where everyone contributes and all necessary decisions are reached.

Please note: Delegates will not receive a recording of the training course. Read helpful information for delegates attending.

Who should attend?

This course is for publishers and managing/publishing/academic editors responsible for editorial boards and running editorial board meetings, either directly (as chair) or indirectly. As it will assume some prior knowledge and experience of editorial boards, the course is particularly aimed at editors with at least one to two years’ experience.

What will you learn?

Have the skills to create a high performing editorial board; identify how your editorial board is performing; prioritise areas that will improve performance and develop a strategy to implement change; easily build effective partnerships and influence others.
