Why the heck are you here?

Since my last post was inclined towards meetings, i was reminded of something which i think is a great starting point for any meeting.

Simply go around the group and find out what they want resolved/brought up during the meeting.

Or... Why the heck did they turn up?

At times i think meetings just drift aimlessly, with some important points going unmentioned or pushed into the "last point of general business" and not adequately dealt with.

Perhaps we'd have better meetings, get more done and felt more engaged if we kicked of the meetings with the question that really matters.
