There are two types of meetings: ones where you come up with a decision/plan of action, and ones in which you pass down information. Make sure you know which type it is first. Your list then applies to the first type.
- red-iron-pine 2y agobingo. sometimes I need to brief people or be briefed by people. in theory email or slack or whatever could do this, but people don't read emails, don't read them in a timely fashion, and are not always available for quick clarifications or questions. for every one of you that's "this could be an email" there will be 3 of you that won't read it.
- yencabulator 2y agoEven for the "pass down information" kind, running the meeting like a reverse classroom is more efficient. Read the new content outside of the meeting, discuss/process/problem-solve/etc in the meeting. https://teaching.cornell.edu/teaching-resources/active-collaborative-learning/flipping-classroom https://teaching.cornell.edu/teaching-resources/active-colla... My personal rule of thumb is, every single participant should have prepared for the meeting for at least the amount of time the meeting is booked for. If this isn't true, you have either an ineffective meeting or wrong/too many people in the room.
