How to run a meeting

How to run a meeting:

- Begin on time.
- Don’t start a meeting without first setting a time to stop.
- Go over the agenda in front of everyone.
- Delegate to one or more people any item that might take more time than is allotted for it.
- Don’t have meetings that last longer than 2 hours.
- Be a bear about interruptions.
- Transform as many meetings as possible into telephone calls or quick conversations in the hall.
