Simple questions, important answers 

With this in mind, it’s a healthy exercise to ask these 

questions for every meeting you’re involved with: 



 

Do you have a clear agenda for this meeting? 

---



 

Do your fellow attendees know what to 

expect? 



 

What decisions or outcomes are expected 

from this meeting? 

Those may seem like obvious questions, but at every 

company I’ve ever worked, there have been meetings 

without an agenda, and poorly defined goals. Not 

surprisingly, those were the least productive, most 

wasteful meetings. 

Make it a point that you or someone on your team 

prepares an agenda for each meeting and you’ll ensure 

every meeting starts with a good foundation and purpose.
