- For meetings where people need to read something. Send the document ahead of time but also allow some time in the meeting for people to read and comment. This will give opportunity to those who may not have read the document to gain relevance in the meeting.
- Always include an agenda in the invitation
- Think carefully about guests. Don’t get in the habit of inviting people who don’t need to be there. People will feel obliged to attend if they’re invited.
- Send a decision log to all participants after the meeting.
