Meeting Management
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,
I enjoyed your comment and the aim of getting material to meeting members wth at least 48 hours is a nice reminder. Then, we can also check to see if folks were able to digest the material before hand, and if not, we can allow a few minutes at the start fo the meering to have them go over what is on the agenda.
