What You’ll Learn

We all know what we’re supposed to do to run meetings effectively, but we seldom do them well. Why? Perhaps we think it’s just not worth the time to clarify what we hope to accomplish, craft an agenda, handpick participants, issue prework, and send out follow-up notes that detail key decisions and next steps. So we run meetings off the cuff or saddle participants with an overly ambitious agenda we have no hope of working through. Other meeting problems feel beyond our control. People nod their heads in our decision-making meeting but then show their true feelings with their lack of follow-through. Derailers. Latecomers. Blowhards. Nonparticipants. People who bring their agenda to your meeting.

The best way to prevent or overcome any of these obstacles is thoughtful and thorough preparation. This guide offers tips and scripts for curbing inappropriate behavior and making your meetings easier to prepare for, more efficient to conduct—and more productive.

You’ll learn how to:

Determine whether you even need to meet

Prepare a realistic agenda

Identify why you’re meeting—and articulate your purpose to attendees

Orchestrate group decision making

Prevent implementation roadblocks by giving participants equal airtime

Cope with chronic latecomers, windbags, and other people problems

Turn around a bad meeting

Run any type of meeting—from a status stand-up to a one-on-one walking check-in to a strategy off-site

Get the most out of digital meeting tools

Hold people accountable without hounding or micromanaging

Keep the momentum going with prompt meeting follow-up
