Do I Need To Attend This Meeting? - presented by Kit Welchlin

Описание: Do you ever get vague meeting notices and wonder if you really needed to attend? Wouldn't it be great to receive a meeting notice that has some of the details of the meeting ?

A good meeting notice would start with the following details:

The date of the meeting along with a start time and end time
A location
The name of the person who called the meeting
The phone number and/or email address of the person calling the meeting

Ideally, when we receive a meeting invite, we would expect to receive a list of objectives with and agenda. The agenda should include the following;
Topic
Activities related to the topic - Information giving, brainstorming, or problem solving, decision making, or team building
The name of the Activity Leader
Time expected

There should also include in the meeting invite guidelines concerning preparation required by the participants of the meeting. This would include information or materials participants need to bring along with any audio / visual needs.

It would be great to list the names of people whose attendance at this meeting is essential. It should also contain a list of names of people whose attendance is optional, but would should at least be informed that the meeting is taking place.

So, overall, great meeting notices guarantee great meeting results. Take a few minutes to improve your meeting notices. Provide details of the upcoming meeting to make sure it's a great use of all the participants' time.
