considering the needs and potential
contributions of others.

• Leadership meetings are
primarily conducted to make
decisions and to ensure that the
organization’s operation is
aligned with its targets and goals.
Apart from deciding on key
issues, it is also through these
meetings that business strategies
are crafted to realize the
organization’s goals and
aspirations effectively.
• A highly-productive leadership
meeting is a great contributor to
the success of an organization
since this gathering is the place
to produce excellent ideas and
strategies. Participants should
also look forward to attending
these meetings, and leave them
feeling energized and inspired.

The purpose of the meeting should
be clear, not only to the organizers,
but also to the coordinators and
participants
• The success of any meeting is directly linked to
the clarity of its goals.
• Each leadership meeting should have explicitly
defined objectives which tell everyone involved
what the meeting is about, and what the
expected results of the meeting are. That is,
what is expected to be achieved or
accomplished.
• Avoid listing agenda topics which involve daily
operational issues or subjects which may be
better addressed at a the lower level. A
leadership meeting agenda should concentrate
on strategic matters.
14. Ensure that participants
are well-prepared to
attend the meeting
Meetings should be
structured
A carefully-prepared meeting agenda will
help bring structure and form to the
meeting. It will guide everyone on which
topics to discuss in order of priority and how
long they should spend on a given topic.
Leadership meetings are often thought to
be serious and formal which makes it
dreadful for some participants. Look for
some leadership meeting ideas that will
maintain participants’ interest and prevent
their attention wandering due to boredom
Essential Techniques for an Effective Leadership Meeting
Reading reports on the day of the
meeting itself is a waste of time. This
should be done before the actual
meeting. Take note that a leadership
meeting is about decision-making
and crafting business strategies and
participants should come in armed
with ideas, suggestions, and be
ready to engage in a substantive
discussion which will result in
valuable results.
