Use Your Meeting Agenda As A Quality Gate
If you're the one setting up a meeting, crafting an agenda in advance helps you to clarify the objective and to determine who should be participating.
Here's how to do it:
- Preface your invite with necessary information every attendee needs to digest before the meeting.
- Pair agenda topics with a timeline and a responsible person.
- State the desired outcome of the meeting (e.g. make a decision).
If you stick to it, the drafting of your agenda should clearly show you a) if a meeting is really necessary and b) who should be included - and who shouldn't.
