 First new tip, before you go into your meeting, before you even invite anyone to your meeting, make sure that you are telling everyone what decision you're trying to make out of this meeting and how you're going to make it. What criteria will you use to make this decision? That way, everyone who's coming to the meeting can come prepared with the homework they need, the data they need, the perspective they need to help you make that decision, whether they're making their case for what they think the best decision is or as a group you're gonna talk about it and come up with a consensus on what the best decision is, make sure you're really clear about the decision and how you're gonna make it before everyone comes into the meeting.
