Send out an overview of the meeting summary and next steps within 24-48 hours after the meeting,Capture summary points from each agenda item, action items, and additional ideas (see framework above)

Participants contribute to meeting discussion and agenda items. 

Share information — cascading information to others, answering questions, and providing new knowledge.

Broadly, there are 4 outputs from meetings:

The leader is responsible for the overall atmosphere of the meeting, and that it’s positive, safe, and productive.

Parkinson’s Law (or it’s inverse) holds true here:Work expands or contracts to fill the time available for its completion. 

You start to lose someone’s attention at around 20 minutes. Longer meetings should be reserved for all-hands and other more passive, information-sharing type meetings.

The leader or driver owns the meeting and the work required during both the pre-meeting preparation phase and post-meeting action items.The leader should be comfortable leading the participants through the agenda items and facilitating discussion.
