prior to the meeting

• : ask what time the meeting really ends and about meeting appointments: by the way, what agreements do we make to keep the meeting on the right track lead?

• plan immediately create space to prepare and... after the meeting process!

• prepared get ahead of the agenda items and finish them before the meeting

• question to pay attention to one point of work: e.g. dear people, how can we do it ensure that we end on time this time, I myself promise to keep myself limited in terms of talking.

• ask a disliked agenda item first or last to be treated, as this can usually end up, but then we've already checked that (s) off the other points anyway

• reports that you're sorry that you have to go on exactly at 10:25am and ask for your points to be dealt with first

• stop with talking

• ask specific questions: make sure you have a you have

• and what exactly do we decide
?
• and who takes action?
• guys, who holds the time the holes?
• and what exactly is the purpose of this agenda item
?
• on the basis of which criteria will we make a decision later?
• if you were to do this in one sentence summarize, what would it be like

• summarizes rationally as meeting participants keep talking too long: so if I'm okay understand... are we making this decision? ... are we only going to decide on the next meeting?

• and send to the next agenda item: ok, what's on the agenda next?

• make suggestions: for the sake of the time to transfer this and that agenda item to the next meeting

• question repeating the action points: who will do what by when

• ask what everyone thought of the meeting: Oh yes, what I found strong today is..., what did you find strong? And what would do you think you can do even better? Will we always evaluate briefly from now on?

• plan immediately
