Meeting Etiquettes

Sharing something I learned from a signboard in Western Digital. Great culture there !!

BEFORE MEETING
- Define objectives & desired outcomes
- Develop agenda & preparation required
- Determine participation, empower representatives
- Define date, time & venue
- Define meeting deliverables

DURING MEETING
- Keep to time limits- start & end of time
- Review & stick to agenda
- Agree on responsibilities & establish ECDs
- Arbitrate conflicts & take control of meeting
- Challenge ideas, not individuals
- Do what you say you'll do

AFTER MEETING
- Distribute minutes / meeting notes / action items
- Follow up proactively with action owners
- Brief team / subodinates on actions taken, suggested solutions & overall outcomes
