Run Purposeful Mission Meetings
- Do only call mission-oriented meetings when you clearly know the objective and they are justified.
- Send an agenda, enforce punctuality, limit attendees to eight, and circulate clear minutes with who does what and when.
Protect Managerial Time
- Avoid wasting managerial time by questioning whether your attendance or the meeting itself is justified.
- Cancel early and use cheaper alternatives like one-on-ones, calls, or notes when possible.
Chairperson Responsibilities
- As chair, identify required attendees, get firm commitments, and insist late people be confronted or excluded.
- Provide logistics and AV, set roles, and send minutes quickly while memory is fresh.
