⓵ Try to be brief: The best times to hold a meeting are 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., before people are immersed in their daily work or after one has shaken off the state of lethargy in the that fall after lunch.
Try that the meeting does not last more than an hour, if you cannot prevent it from lasting longer, take 15-minute breaks between each hour.

⓶ Prepare the ground: If you are going to expose somewhat radical points of view, first talk to whoever plays the role of "boss's ears". Put it on your side.
When you vent your ideas about the group, he will agree with you, and that will put a muzzle to the dissatisfied.

⓷ Control the buffoon:He is the amenity of the office and that makes it dangerous.
When you start your show, say firmly, "we're getting distracted, so let's go back to the agenda". If he continues to be sympathetic, be a little caustic. Say "very funny; although not as much as your sales levels".

⓸ Use a flip chart: Projectors sleep an owl. Hand out brochures (Your classmates should receive the agenda from the previous day).Write the most interesting points on large pieces of paper and stick them on the wall. Your colleagues will see you as an organized type. Then use the sheets to make reports, or kites for the children.

⓹ Discard stupid ideas: Remember that great advertising failures began with innocent suggestions. But do not reject bad ideas automatically, it usually contains a couple of interesting aspects. Concentrate to ask precise questions; the flaws in the plan will be evident.

⓺ Avoid getting distracted: Most of those who arrive late for a meeting want to make a triumphal entry. These pranksters need to see them to be able to tell their jokes. Arrange the seats so that people are facing away from the door. And do not catch up with the unpunctual. If it is necessary that you notice your tardiness, be quick: "Somebody can update Bart after the meeting."

With these tips you will be a great leader in office meetings
