1. 5 STEPS TO
GREAT MEETINGS
CONSIDER YOUR DESIRED OUTCOME
Before you reserve a room and send out invitations, take a few moments
to consider why you want to call your meeting in the first place.
CREATE AN AGENDA
Once you clearly understand the reasons for your meeting and your intended
outcomes, create an agenda. Clear agendas drive successful meetings.
IDENTIFY AND INVITE KEY PARTICIPANTS
Identify key people you need in the meeting. Include anyone you believe will
help you get the information and results you need, no more and no less.
PRESENT THE ISSUES AND STAY FOCUSED ON THE GOAL
Stick to your agenda. Encourage all meeting participants to contribute to the meeting.
Identify topics for escalation and possible off-line discussions for a later time.
WRAP-UP THE MEETING
Once the agenda has been covered, wrap up the meeting. The wrap-up officially
closes the meeting. It confirms, clarifies, and recaps what was discussed--and
everyone's understanding of the situation or goals.
