meme slipping into como boring meeting

Meetings don’t need to be dreaded; they need to be done effectively.

It’s simple, but hard work.  Follow these three rules and get the most out of your meetings.

  1. The meeting before the meeting. Preparation for a meeting is a must.  Set your agenda with the key players.  The agenda may be set and followed for recurring meetings.   Always have an agenda.
  2. Start on time! Send a reminder to all attendees, and start your meetings on time.  Repeat the goal of the meeting, follow your agenda, and keep on task. Have a note taker.  End on time as well.
  3. Set Action Items. Have the note taker keep a list of the action items with deadlines for the attendees.  Send the list out as soon as possible after the meeting, with a mid week reminder for completion of action items.

 Ground Rules

Be on time, be prepared, respect all opinions, cell phones off.
