It is a reminder that as the leader of the important role I have it  sharing and communicating the clear, realistic and compelling vision to all groups that I connect and engage with.

I AM REMINDED OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SENDING OUT A MEETING AGENDA IN ADVANCE OF A MEETING WITH A CLEAR AGENDA AND GOAL(S) WITH ANY INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP PARTICIPANTS COME PREPARED TO DISCUSS, BRAINSTORM OR MAKE A DECISION.

I agree that have a specific detailed agenda sent out at least 48 hours to a week in advance with a clearly stated objective to brainstorm, discuss or decide make for the most productive and effective meeting.  I have also found that providing data ahead of time helps to insure everyone comes to the meeting level set on what the problem clearly is or what the data shows. It is always best to decide base on actual data vs feelings,

My biggest teke away is the importance of summarizing the meeting outcome and the next steps/ action plan to insure that progress icontinues to be made made outside the meetings.

It was a great reminder that the key is to set up the right team for success:

- team charter

- project plan

- launch meeting

- select decision making authority

- nurturing the team
