The Art of Running a Meeting

We all the know the difference between a good and bad meeting, but not everyone knows how to make it a good meeting.

Here are my tips for running a meeting:
-Have introductions; don't assume everyone know each other. This helps people become more comfortable.
-Start on time
-Follow an agenda
-If you have an idea and want to see if there's support, send around a paper with your idea. If people are interested have them make a check mark. Let others add their ideas to the sheet as it goes around.
-Stay on topic
-Make good use of time. If you realize you don't have over 25 minutes of stuff to talk about, cancel the meeting and email the information out.
-Be organized
-Don't talk about the small turnout or who should be there but isn't. Focus on who is there.
