Small Business Tip: Holding Effective Meetings

One of the most effective business strategies is holding regular meetings with your employees to update company policies, and discuss objectives. Holding an effective meeting is tricky. If you don’t have a well-laid agenda, you might end up wasting the time of others. Here are tips to help you ensure your meeting becomes successful.
Define your agenda. List the objectives of the meeting you’re holding to make sure that you’ll discuss all your concerns. Under each topic, write questions and inquiries which you want to address so that your discussion will be more specific and straightforward.
Make handouts of your agenda. Photocopy your agenda and make sure everyone has a copy. This is effective in getting everyone’s focus on your list of topics.
Make sure everyone is participating and giving insights. As you go through your agenda, ask your executives about their insights, concerns, and comments. Make sure every person in the room is contributing to the discussion to ensure that the meeting is interactive.
Take down the minutes of the meeting. Make sure you write down every brilliant idea and suggestion. You can refer to your notes later on when you’re making your recommendations and conclusions..
After the discussion and before the meeting ends, summarize all important points and agreements to give everyone a summary of the delegation of tasks.
Don’t forget to follow up. A few days after the meeting, ask your executives how they’re doing with their assignments. Knowing the status of everyone’s work will give you an idea if your meetings are effective in achieving your objectives.
