Simply run through the checklist of questions below at the end of a meeting to make sure your meetings are working in the way you want them to:

1. Were all the necessary people there?
2. If papers were necessary, were they circulated on time?
3. Was it clear whether each item was for discussion, decision or information?
4. Did the chair:
   
   1. keep to time?
   2. facilitate discussion well in line with ground rules?
5. Were previous actions followed up / outcomes tracked?
6. Were new actions agreed, with clear timelines, responsibilities, appropriate delegation?
7. What can you improve? How?
