My own pro-tip (just because it isn't stated explicitly elsewhere): be very careful to limit your audience. Even inviting one extra person can "break" a meeting. Coincidentally, it also costs more $ in lost productivity.
If you're ever wondering whether a meeting is worthwhile, do a back-of-napkin calculation to balance the reason for the meeting versus the actual cost of the meeting ("Hmmm... I have 10 people here who probably avg cost $75/hr. Is this meeting really worth $500?").
