This document provides instructions for organizing and conducting an effective meeting. It outlines 7 steps: 1) send a notice 2 weeks in advance with contact details; 2) create an agenda and circulate it 1 week before; 3) prepare the meeting room 15-30 minutes early; 4) start on time and discuss progress; 5) get feedback and control disruptions; 6) summarize decisions and assign tasks at the end; 7) end on time and follow up to ensure tasks are completed. The overall message is that meetings should be well-planned, focused on outcomes, involve all participants, and respect people's time.

This is just as important as the meeting itself. Remember, at the start of the next meeting, youre going to have to summarize what was accomplished since the last one.
#9: Get feedback from everyone. Having a clear leader in a meeting does not stifle feedback and collaboration, it ensures it. Without a leader, the opinionated loudmouths, who do not necessarily have the best ideas, will dominate the discussion, while the more reticent cant get a word in edgewise. Draw out the quiet people by asking questions like, Jane, youve had a lot of experience with that company, what is your opinion of their proposal? Of course, some people are quiet because they have nothing insightful to offer. A good leader knows which is which.Ask good questions. Sometimes people cant come up with the right solution simply because the leader isnt asking the right questions. Ask questions that will really make people think and look at something from another angle.Shut down disruptions. Its perhaps the hardest part of the job, but a leader must tactfully shut down people who are getting off-track, whether theyre simply going on and on or theyre just way off-topic. Wait for the bloviator to take a breath and then say something like: That might be a good subject to discuss another time, but lets get back to talking about X.Why dont the two of us discuss that after the meeting.Good point but we need to get back to agenda.Lets table that for now but we can put it on the agenda for next time.Ive just signaled for Tom to render you unconscious with a blow dart to the neck.You dont want to come off as a jerk and cut them off, but its best to err on the side of having a firm hand. While the windbag may be a bit chastised, everyone else in the meeting will inwardly be applauding you.
