Beyond Success – Chapter 5
4 KEYS TO AN EFFECTIVE MEETING
1. Every participant needs to be actively involved a high percentage of the time.
2. The meeting must start and end on time, and the clock must be used as a tool to generate energy and resourcefulness.
3. The meeting must produce progress; every participant must walk away with clarity about his or her next step.
4. The meeting must end on an upbeat note, with sincere recognition and appreciation expressed for the team's industriousness and effort.
