This week's show brought to you by BigIdeaNashville.com - A church communications and marketing conference April 19-20 presented by Brentwood Baptist Church, Nashville TN. Ever left a meeting thinking it had been a complete waste of time? Ever been the leader of that meeting and still left thinking that way? Here are 9 rules that we use to be sure that our creative meetings are effective: 1) Invite only relevant participants 2) Have an agenda 3) Start on time, End on time 4) Everybody contributes 5) Leave with an action plan 6) Review last meeting's action plan 7) Nobody leaves confused 8) What happens in the room stays in the room 9) Get clear before the meeting
