"HOLDING EFFECTIVE MEETINGS -This one-pager should help - Work through the following considerations and steps:
1. Do we really need to meet?
2. Who really needs to be at this meeting?
3. A meeting is a little mini-project. Therefore, it needs: a.   a goal (what's the meeting trying to accomplish?) b.  a plan (an agenda).
4. Decline/refuse/don't go if you're not given these two things.
5. Be on time.
6. No multitasking - no playing with your laptop unless it's neces­sary for the meeting.
7. If you're not getting anything out of the meeting, it should be okay to leave.
8. Meetings are not for information sharing - that should be done before the meeting via email and/or the agenda. In other words, the meeting isn't the place to read the stuff you should have read before the meeting.
9. Assign action items at the conclusion of the meeting.
10. Don't feel bad about calling people out if they're in breach of any of the above; it's the right thing to do."
