- Confirm the agenda and meeting process
- Establish the time contract
ow Meeting Participants Can Clarify an Unframed Meeting
What happens when the purpose and/or structure of a meeting is missing?
If the meeting structure is unclear, participants may:
- Emotionally “check-out” of the meeting
- “Hijack” the meeting agenda
- Conduct side conversations with other participants
- Express their frustration during the unofficial “meeting after the meeting”
Accountable meeting participants help to frame an unclear meeting by asking clarifying questions of the meeting chair
