EFFECTIVE TIPS
To avoid problems experienced in a business meeting:
1. Assign Pre-Work and set Objectives for the Meeting
Far more specific and effective than an agenda alone is assigning pre-work. Using
pre-work regularly, managers will encourage preparation and engage employees.
Pre-work can be simple: Ask participants to provide key solutions, suggestions or
examples before the meeting that can be aggregated and presented live.
 Provide an agenda Beforehand: One benefit of
setting objectives for the meeting is to help you plan
the meeting. The more concrete your meeting
objectives, the more focused your agenda will be. A
second important benefit of having specific
objectives for each meeting is that you have a
concrete measure against which you can evaluate
that meeting. Were you successful in meeting the
objectives? Why or why not? Is another meeting required? Setting meeting
objectives allows you to continuously improve your effective meeting
process.
2. Adopt An "Everyone Plays" Mentality
Sick of being the only one talking for an entire meeting? Assign relevant roles,
topics or updates that each participant (or most) can share with the group. With
participants taking more of an active role, they are much more likely to pay
attention and also feel empowered by the new responsibility.
 Assign Meeting Preparation: Give all participants something to prepare for
the meeting, and that meeting will take on a new significance to each group
member
3. Make The Meeting Actionable
Send people the agenda and anything else they can read beforethe meeting so you
can use the meeting to focus on what actions and decisions need to be made to
move things forward.
