- Set a Clear Agenda: Outline the topics to be discussed and share the agenda in advance so that staff can prepare. - Time Management: Start and end the meeting on time to respect everyone's schedules. - Encourage Participation: Foster an environment where all staff members feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas. - Follow-Up on Action Items: Assign responsibilities and set deadlines for any tasks or action items that arise during the meeting. Follow up in subsequent meetings to ensure progress. - Use Technology: Utilize tools such as video conferencing, project management software, and shared digital documents to enhance communication and organization.
