Typical Meeting Sequence

Structure each meeting similarly so team members know what to expect and feel comfortable participating. A typical meeting sequence is: -review the agenda, -set time limits for discussion, -assign roles for the meeting, -define the goal of this meeting, -define procedures for decision-making and information sharing, -proceed through agenda items, -summarize this meeting, -define future actions, -set next meeting date, -close with one member sharing a short feel-good story or all participating in a "one-word-go-around."
