Make sure that the meeting stays focused. Set the stage for proactive communication and input. There are no stupid ideas. Creativity is merely ideas in the making. Walt Disney said, if you can dream it, you can achieve it.
Proactive communication is important.
Get commitment and set dates. Determine what is next. Many follow-up steps can be achieved through other mediums rather than meetings. Keep in mind that each meeting costs you and your company millions of dollars each year. Don t be a meeting junkie.
