4. Take no hostages.
If you notice one person monopolizing the conversation, call him out. Say, "We appreciate your
contributions, but now we need input from others before making a decision." Be public about
it. Establishing ground rules early on will create a framework for how your group functions.
5. Start on time, end on time.
People appreciate it when you understand that their time is valuable. Do
not schedule any meeting to last longer than an hour. Sixty minutes is
generally the longest time workers can remain truly engaged.
6. Ban technology.
The reality is that if people are allowed to bring iPads or mobile devices into the room,
they won't be focusing on the meeting or contributing to it. Eyes up here, please.
7. Follow up.
It's quite common for people to come away from the same meeting with very different
interpretations of what went on. To reduce this risk, email a memo highlighting what
was accomplished to all who attended within 24 hours after the meeting. Document
the responsibilities given, tasks delegated and any assigned deadlines.
