How can I make my meetings more productive?

How can I make my meetings more productive?

Start by setting a clear agenda and sharing it with participants in advance. This helps everyone prepare.

What if some participants dominate the conversation?

You can implement a round-robin format where everyone gets a chance to speak, or set time limits for each person.

How do I handle off-topic discussions?

Gently steer the conversation back to the agenda by saying something like, 'That's an interesting point, but let's focus on our main topic for now.'

Should I follow up after the meeting?

Yes, sending a summary of the meeting and action items can help keep everyone accountable and on track.
