A well-organized agenda is a foundation for a productive meeting. Take time to create the schedule with a list of topics for discussion and disseminate it the day before.

While you’re creating the agenda, invite input from your team. Perhaps there are ideas they want to brainstorm or issues they’d like addressed.

Only ask essential personnel who should be present to keep everything on track.

Make sure you allow everyone to contribute. Therefore, before you wrap up, ask each person if they have anything to add or questions they want to ask.
