Tips for better meetings



Meetings could be boring!! Just like pic above. It could also be interesting and even more productive. Check out these tips

1. End your previous task five minutes early.
The best way to be early is to ensure your previous engagement doesn’t run late. You can accomplish this by adopting a mindset where you stop whatever you’re doing five minutes early. This gives you time to go to the bathroom; grab a cup of coffee; say hi to your assistant; check emails; or grab a seat before the gun fire

2. Make sure everyone knows their role.
When people know their roles in a meeting there is less confusion and more efficiency; therefore, the meeting starts and ends on time. Every meeting must include five key roles: the moderator, the note taker, the timekeeper, the participants and the closer. Each of these five roles is crucial to running successful meetings, and taking the time to assign each of the roles at the beginning of each meeting, will make your meetings more efficient and effective.


3. Go straight to the point
Asking about the welfare of your business workers ain't bad at all neither should it be the talk of the day. Some jokes are also allowed to balance the scenario. Ensure the aim of the meeting is met and straight to the point. Perhaps,you could usher in some refreshment. This way, your workers will be eager for the next meeting (ENSABB)

4).End meetings five minutes early.
It’s a bit unusual and may not always be possible but ending the meeting five minutes early gives you and your team time to transition to the next meeting or activity.
