The document provides tips for designing more effective meetings by outlining steps to take before, during, and after meetings. Before meetings, one should know the purpose, craft the invitation, and plan to harvest outcomes. During meetings, one should make a clear start, make early decisions, host dialogue, and finish with action items. After meetings, one should harvest meaning, share learning, practice accountability, and celebrate progress.
