Do you spend time planning your meeting agenda? This is an important step because it will make it easier to lead the discussion and will allow people to contribute effectively. As you think through each conversation topic, ask yourself:
1. What is the desired outcome?
2. How much time will you need?
3. What input do you need from the group?
4. What is the best process to follow that allows the group to work through the discussion?
5. What information do the participants need to prepare?
6. Who should lead the conversation?
You can use the answers to these questions to introduce each topic in the meeting so that the participants know where they're going and how they're going to get there.
“When you go to meetings or auditions and you fail to prepare, prepare to fail. It's simple but true.” -Paula Abdul
