Start with yourself
How clear are the purpose of your meetings?
Do the people you invite know what is expected of them?
What do you do when you are invited to a meeting that
has those smells?
When you have your most productive/enjoyable/effective
meeting, what is it like?
Make it OK for people to leave if they feel they aren’t
adding or receiving value from the meeting (including you!)
(modified law of 2 feet)
Don’t have a set end time. Time box each agenda item and let the duration emerge
from that.(see the sneaky trick?)
Say why you are inviting the people you are inviting. What are
you expecting from them?
Insist on clarity of purpose before you accept a meeting invite (a bit like 2-factor authentication!)
Check that your agenda has a reasonable chance of helping your meeting reach its purpose
