New Year's Resolutions for Meetings

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,

Meeting Facilitator, and Author
