2. Start with a good reason
“We are holding this meeting today to accomplish
these goals and objectives.”
It sets the foundation, establishes the parameters,
organizes the terms of reference and tells everybody
in the room why they are there, for how long, and
what they need to accomplish.
3. Be punctual
Begin right on time. Do not penalize the
people who were there on time by waiting
for others who are late. Assume that the
latecomer is not coming at all and get right
on with the meeting.
4. Summarize the main point
An important meeting management tip to
learn is to summarize at the end of each
discussion point and at the end of the
meeting. Set out and summarize your
time and action schedules, and your
implementation plan and assignments
