3.If an item isn’t on open agenda, reschedule it for discussion at a later time.

4.Give each item on agenda a time limit. If action or discussion cannot be completed during allotted time, it must be delayed until end of meeting.

5.After all agenda items have been discussed, address delayed items and estimate how long it will take to discuss them. Decide if item can be discussed today or needs further action before a decision can be made.

6.Any delayed item should be first item on next open agenda.

7.Summarize and record action items before adjourning meeting. Identify who is responsible for which action.

4) Be trustworthy.

Be fair in your dealings with others. Don’t show favoritism. Remember you must always walk your talk. Your actions speak louder than your words. Don’t ask others to do what you can’t or won’t do. You can’t lead if others don’t trust you.

5) Develop Win-Win-Win Solutions.

Your company will only grow if you can provide valuable services that help your clients succeed. In meantime, you must help your staff achieve their goals, and organization must grow. A win-win-win approach means you create solutions and services that support best interests of your client, your staff and your company. If one of these elements is missing, your business won’t grow. Don’t try to shortchange one element to benefit of other.
