How To Write A Meeting Agenda

When attempting to hold a productive meeting, the most important thing you can do is to create an agenda. This should be sent to all attendees well in advance to give everyone time to examine the topics and prepare what they need to say. Agendas highlight the purpose of the meeting and the decisions that need to be made. Without an agenda meetings lack focus and decisions will not be made since attendees will go off on tangents and fail to understand what needs to be achieved. I should be clear at this point that there is nothing wrong with a brainstorming session where an agenda would not be required, but for more formal meetings with specific questions, problems and issues that need attention and solution, an agenda should always be given.
