Framing Meeting Agendas as Questions to be Answered

Framing meeting agendas as questions to be answered instead of topics to be discussed is a great idea. It helps the meeting leader think about the purpose of the meeting and ensures relevant participants are invited. Questions also make the meeting more thoughtful and structured, creating a dynamic of inquiry. Having questions in meeting invites charges people up and encourages them to come prepared. Rotating meeting leaders and calling on remote attendees first in hybrid meetings are other effective strategies for active participation. Well-run meetings benefit everyone.
