RUNNING A BUSINESS MEETING

Meetings are an important part of doing business. A successful meeting has no surprises. With proper preparation and careful organization, a meeting can run smoothly. Setting goals and time limits, keeping to the agenda, and knowing how to refocus are the key components of an effective meeting.

There are a number of ways that you may call or be called to a meeting. Some meetings are announced by email, and others are posted on bulletin boards. The date, location, time, length, and purpose of the meeting should be included. In order to keep the meeting on task and within the set amount of time, it is important to have an agenda. The agenda should indicate the order of items and an estimated amount of time for each item. If more than one person is going to speak during the meeting, the agenda should indicate whose turn it is to have the floor. The person in charge of calling and holding a meeting may decide to allocate certain roles to other staff members. Someone may be called upon to take the minutes, someone may be asked to do roll call, and someone may be asked to speak on a certain subject. This should be done either in person, or in an email.

Whether you are holding the meeting or attending the meeting, it is polite to make small talk while you wait for the meeting to start. You should discuss things unrelated to the meeting, such as weather, family, or weekend plans. Once everyone has arrived, the chairperson, or whoever is in charge of the meeting should formally welcome everyone to the meeting and thank the attendees for coming. If anyone at the meeting is new to the group, or if there is a guest speaker, this is the time when introductions should be made. The person in charge of the meeting can introduce the new person, or ask the person to introduce him-/her. Some people who hold meetings prefer to pass around copies of the agenda, and others will post a large copy on a wall, or use an overhead projector. No matter which format is used, attendees should be able to follow the agenda as the meeting progresses. Before beginning the first main item on the agenda, the speaker should provide a brief verbal outline of the objectives.

Anyone may be assigned to take the minutes at a meeting. The minute-taker can use a pen and paper or a laptop computer and does not need to include every word that is spoken. It is necessary to include important points and any votes and results. Indicating who said what is also necessary, which is why the minute-taker should make sure to know the names of the attendees. The minute-taker should type out the minutes immediately after the meeting so that nothing is forgotten.

One of the most difficult things about holding an effective meeting is staying within the time limits. A good agenda will outline how long each item should take. A good chairperson will do his or her best to stay within the limits.

When issues cannot be resolved or decisions cannot be easily made, they are often put to a vote. Most votes occur during meetings. Votes can be open, where people raise their hands in favor or in opposition of the issue. In an open vote, the results are evident immediately. Other votes, such as who should be elected to take on a certain role, are private or closed. During private votes, attendees fill in ballots and place them in a box to be counted. The results may not be counted until after the meeting. When a motion is voted and agreed upon, it is carried. When it is voted and disagreed upon, it is failed. Most often votes are put to a majority. If there is a tie vote, the chairperson will often cast the deciding vote.

During the meeting, participants will comment, provide feedback, or ask questions.

There are different reasons why a meeting comes to an end. Time may run out, or all of the items on the agenda may be checked off. Some meetings will end earlier than expected and others will run late. A meeting may be cut short due to an unexpected problem or circumstance.

The end of the meeting is also the time to thank anyone who has not been thanked at the beginning of the meeting, or anyone who deserves a second thank you. Congratulations or good-luck can also be offered here to someone who has experienced something new, such as receiving a promotion, getting married, or having a baby.
