Firstly, before the meeting we should ask ourselves:
- Do we have a meeting agenda?
- Do we know the location, the start, and the finish times?
- Do we know why we’re having this meeting?
- Do we know why we in particular have been invited to this meeting?
- Are we already up to date on what will be discussed at the meeting?
- Do we know everyone else who will come to this meeting? If we don't, what do we need to know before going?
- Do we have minutes of the last meeting?
Secondly, before the meeting we should ask ourselves:
- Is there any conflict which might derail the meeting?
- Will any contentious issues be discussed?
- Do we have any homework that we need to do before the meeting?
- What tasks did we say we would have complete by this meeting, but are not complete?
Thirdly, after the meeting we should ask ourselves:
- Was the meeting successful?
- Did everything get covered?
- Did the items not covered get parked for next time?
- Do people seem motivated?
- Are all the actions clear?
- Did we action all that needs to be done?
- Did we record how actions need to get done?
- Did we record who actions need be done by?
- Did we record when actions need to be done by
- Did we record who is going to keep track?
Remember, we build habits one step at a time.
