After participating a (phone) meeting that was not worth spending the money for the IP traffic, I’ve sent a mail to all participants referring to the following post: Tips for Running Effective Meetings. Some of the folks replied and asked if the infographic is available as text as well… Here we are:
- Email an agenda 24 hours in advance
- Arrive 5 minutes early
- Come prepared
- Bring paper and a pen
- Start and end on time
- Stay on topic
- No interrupting
- No smartphones
- Be brief and concise
- Share all relevant data
- No side conversations or comments
- Disagree without being disagreeable
- Everyone participates
- Silence = Agreement
- Challenge ideas rather then people
- Follow-up email within 24 hours
