2. Tips to make meetings more effective
1. A Preset Agenda
When countless meetings fill your day, you need to maximize efficiency.
Having a preset agenda for each meeting and distributing it to the
attendees ahead of time can cut your meeting times in half. - Nick
Martini, Stept Studios
3. 2. The Right Attendees
Ask yourself, “What can we do today to avoid having this meeting?”
if a meeting is really necessary before scheduling it. Meetings are
and expensive. Effective meetings require significant preparations and
follow-up actions. The fewer meetings, the better. If a meeting is
determined to be necessary, make sure you have the right people in the
meeting with clear goals and objectives. - David Crean, Objective Capital

4. 3. Clear Goals
A lot of meetings I walk into today do not have a clear outline of what the
meeting is about, what we are discussing, the goal of the meeting and
action items that we need to take away from it. If you walk into a meeting
without a plan and ad hoc the entire thing, you are wasting your, and
everyone else's, time. - Lucas Pols, Spark xyz
