How to make meetings more effective

Definitions
Meeting
is an event in which a group of people come together to discuss things or make decisions.
To manage
- means to direct or control a business, part of a business, or the people who work in it

Tips for effective meetings and action points are:
Participants: choosing the right ones is the key to the success of any meeting. Make sure all participants can contribute and choose good decision-makers and problem-solvers. Try to keep the number of participants to a maximum of 12
Agenda: check all meetings aims have been addressed; will you need a future meeting?
Key points and actions: summarise the who/what/when. Minutes should be short and concise and issued within 24 hours
End by allocating ten minutes to review how you performed as a team: what were the positive/negative points
