Kathryn and Michael discuss strategies for having effective meetings. They recommend clearly defining the purpose and desired outcome before scheduling a meeting, and considering whether the goals could be achieved through other means like email or phone calls. Sending an agenda ahead of time helps participants prepare. Ideal meetings have a consistent day/time, start and end on time, follow the agenda framework, and last 20-30 minutes for tactical topics, an hour for strategic topics, or up to 2 hours for planning sessions. A designated facilitator manages time, redirects digressions, and incorporates stress relief or fun elements when appropriate for the context.
