Question: How do you make meeting participants happy?
Wrap up early.
Sounds like a great plan, but how?
Stick to your agenda. If the conversation goes off topic, add it to a “parking lot” or “wish list” then get back to business.
Use the time wisely. If you’ve got status updates and for-your-info-only content, send that in an email instead.
Use a timer and set an alarm for yourself 5-10 minutes prior to wrap up time.
Invite less people to the meeting- think to yourself: who needs to be there?
Have a stand-up meeting- The movement is good for you and will remind you to keep things short and sweet.
If it’s virtual, have people share their cameras.
