Description of my personal most important tips
 Know what you want to accomplish. It is important to know why you are
scheduling a business meeting. Write down a list of goals you want accomplished
before your meeting and then present this to the attending members. Do not leave
the meeting until you get the answers you’re looking for.
 Make sure you stay on topic. When there is a lot of people in a meeting it can
be difficult to stay on topic so prepare accordingly. If you find that the meeting
isn’t going anywhere or someone is off on a tangent, then politely circle back to
the important topic that needs to be addressed.
 Encourage participation. Do not let a few people take control of your meetings.
Instead, create a friendly atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable
expressing their opinions.
 Determine a timeline. Make sure you have specific deadlines of when you
would like your objectives to get accomplished – otherwise, not everyone may be
on the same page.
