Here are six New Year's Resolutions that will lead to better meetings.
1) Write the goal for a meeting before preparing the agenda.
2) Check if a meeting is the best process to achieve the goal. (If yes, then schedule a meeting.)
3) Prepare an agenda.
4) Distribute the agenda before the meeting, allowing attendees enough time to prepare.
5) Call (as in phone) key participants to check if: a) They have had time to prepare, and b) They plan to attend.
6) Arrive early so that you can greet the attendees as they arrive.
Next Step: Apply these steps to your next meeting.
Much success,
