- running a meeting
> running meetings properly is a rare skill, so we've summarized the key
points here – this particular skill is valuable in most walks of life.
several days before the meeting, the organizer of the meeting should:
• circulate the agenda;
• check that the venue is still available, if it isn't the supervisor's office;
• remind people of the time and place of the meeting;
• circulate any briefing material, including minutes of the last meeting.
during the meeting, the chair of the meeting should:
• record the date and the parties present;
• check that everyone agrees with the minutes of the last meeting;
• check that actions from the last meeting have all been done;
• record any decisions made, including milestones and deliverables (and check that everyone agrees with this record);
• record any actions agreed (and check that everyone agrees with this record);
• fix the time and place of the next meeting.
after the meeting:
• the organizer should write up the minutes and distribute them;
• everyone should do what they have agreed to do.
