YahooYahoo Meeting Etiquette

  • Give everyone the opportunity to speak; moderate the discussion to interrupt long monologues and let quieter participants contribute.
  • Be sceptical and ask presenters to justify their suggestions with data, explaining what research they conducted.
  • If the discussion goes off track and time runs out, summarise the essential statements and make a decision.
  • State the criteria for decision‑making ahead of time and use numbers rather than politics when evaluating options.
  • After the meeting, summarise the main conclusions, distribute tasks, assign responsibility and designate deadlines.
