I have difficulty not to have completely pointless meetings (A5, G8).
A checklist: meetings can be effective when.......
• the aim of the meeting is made clear beforehand;
• everybody respects the aims of the meeting;
• participants prepare for the meeting;
• the meeting runs according to the agenda and the intended time limit;
• only appropriate and useful contributions are delivered;
• the participation is limited to persons who are directly involved with the topics under consideration;
• all relevant information is available;
• relevant decisions are made and clear action is initiated;
• clear responsibilities and time frames for implementation are designated.
• Formal and informal communication patterns are understood and managed adequately
