Sometimes being reminded of the purpose of a meeting is probably not a bad thing. Sometimes what people think they want coming into the meeting isn't actually what they really want. It's nice to say o have a firm starting point, but actually, sometimes what people take from the meeting aren't even what they came to the meeting for. So clarifying that the be beginning can be helpful. You ask a few more questions can often allow helpurs to refine the agender. I mean, as we know, right, like, the job is never done if you don't block in time to celebrate. And so i've sort of learnt to be a little bit fluid with agenders.
