3 must steps in Decision making meetings

 

DECEMBER 27, 2011 Set the Stage for your Next Meeting From the moment you send a meeting invite, as the meeting organizer you are responsible for setting the right tone and making the meeting a success. Here are three things you should do before people get in the room: Clarify the objective. Make sure people know why they're invited. If it's to make a decision, give participants the time and materials they need to prepare. Prep important people. Talk with key participants about agenda items ahead of time. You may hear insights that could change how you run the meeting. Expect full participation. Ask attendees to do their homework, come with relevant materials, and show up ready to contribute.
