In chapter 10, we learn practical advice on how to effectively participate and facilitate meetings.

Before any meeting is scheduled, it is important that the following is determined:

1. Purpose of the meeting - not only should there be a clear purpose, but is a meeting even necessary

2. Time - adequate notice of the meeting and length of the meeting

3. Participants - who needs to participate in this meeting

4. Agenda - a clear agenda (topic and amount of time per topic) should be created
