Keep assessing yourself using the below questions to gauge your likely meeting quality. ## Negative Indicators If you answer yes to any of the questions below, you have room for improvement: 1. Who did most of the talking, was it you, one, or two people only? 2. Were *any* people distracted, conducting side-conversations, e-mailing, etc.? 3. Did the discussion stray to irrelevant topics or feel like rambling? 4. Were all the opinions and ideas expressed fairly similar to each other? 5. Did you have to go over or incorrectly planned the time? ## Positive Indicators If you answer yes to any of the following questions, you are improving: 1. Did *every* person on the meeting participate? 2. Was there a healthy debate and real dialogue going on? 3. Were people energized at the end of the meeting? 4. Are you collecting candid feedback from the participants? 5. Were you prepared, had a clear agenda, and achieved the meeting objective? ## Post-meeting Evaluation Collect a post-meeting evaluation from participants, such as: 1. Do you feel more energized now, after this meeting? 2. How included did you feel during the meeting? 3. Were you bored during the meeting? 4. Do you feel the meeting achieved its objectives? 5. Was it possible for you to express all your concerns? 6. Did you achieve *your* objectives for this meeting? 1. If not, what hindered you from achieving them? 7. What worked well, what needs improvements, and what suggestions can you share? Consider systematically measuring and tracking the quality of your meetings ("measure what matters").
