My company is featuring more training videos and this one was on meeting etiquette. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

• Limit the number of video calls.
• A phone call or email may be effective.
• On each meeting, make sure there is a purpose and an agenda.
• Send out the agenda should be in advance.
• State the purpose of the meeting as you start it.
• Follow the agenda throughout the meeting.
• Prioritize participants under the moto less is more.
• Meet in odd numbers to make decision.
• The less people involved in making decisions or attending a meeting the more effective it is.
• Consider shorter meetings 15-20 min
• Be mindful of time zones.

Four golden rules:

• Be on time you cascade downline punctuality or lack thereof.
• Be present. Resist the temptation to multi task such as with phones.
• Be inclusive. Look for body language. See who has checked out of the meeting. See who might want to comment.
• Summarize at the end of your meeting. Summarize take ways, actions items, and follow up.
• Have some element of fun during your meetings.
