Meeting Pitfalls
Create a reputation for yourself as being a meeting leader who starts and ends on time, every time. When attendees know exactly when a meeting will be over, they won’t spend their time internally speculating about when they can leave, advises Kimberly Douglas, president of FireFly Facilitation, which specializes in leadership training.
And if you do need to extend the meeting’s length, ask the group’s permission before doing so, Douglas says. “When you’re creating your meeting agendas, remember that the ideal maximum meeting length is 60 minutes. And use what I call ‘time boxes’ for each agenda item. That means X amount of time is allotted for each agenda item.”
