All meetings must have clear objectives. Invite a neutral facilitator to sensitive meetings. Prepare a comprehensive meeting agenda. Circulate meeting information to all participants before the meeting. Always start on time.
Ensure participants are prompt, prepared, concise, and constructive.
Record meeting notes and store them in a meeting archive. Document group decisions. Assign, document, and follow up on all action items. Review the overall meeting effectiveness, and try to apply tips to your next session. Good luck, and don t be afraid to challenge the way your meetings have been held in the past.
