The Importance of Effective Agendas and Facilitation in Meetings

Large meetings can often feel unnecessary, but it's important to have a clear purpose and effective agenda. Simply having an agenda isn't enough though, it's crucial to create it collaboratively and facilitate the discussion well. To improve meetings, it's essential to change the conversation and actively involve all participants. Rather than listing topics, frame the agenda as a set of questions to be answered. This forces the meeting leader to think about the purpose of the gathering and the key questions to address.
