- Have an agenda for every meeting
- Determine how long the meeting will last

- Don’t just meet out of habit
- Determine who is leading the meeting
- Set up ground rules for the meeting: interruptions, new business, how long to discuss topics, what to do when you can’t agree, internet usage during the meeting, etc…
- Determine what topics need to be addressed and which ones can be dealt with at another time.
