Vincent, I side with my colleagues to set a ground rules, time and sending advanced agenda, here are more few points I found quite effective
1. Language is so important evaluate body language, tone, words chosen, volume and intensity, and inflection.
2. Project a good sense of humor.
3. Focus at macro and micro levels of detail in real time.
4. Maintain poise in front of a group regardless of high management level if present at the meeting.
5. Take control of a group without being obtrusive, abrasive or autocratic.
6. Stay on course while allowing freedom in dialogue.
7. Maintain Group dynamics, allow participation but filter audience
8. Resist imposing personal views and opinions during the process.
9. Improvise with confidence when under pressure and defuse conflict as temper might flare and high verbal jousting may occurs which is different from constructive discussion
10. Have refreshment coffee would be the choice of most of us.
