Making Any Meeting Memorable: TIP #21: Set rules.

An ongoing series of 25 Tips for Making any Meeting Memorable by Christine Corelli, Author, Speaker, Consultant, and Competitive Edge Expert

Forbid any problems being raised without a solution. Require that anyone who presents a problem must also have a potential solution. This will help your people understand that they must be solution-oriented. Also, avoid focusing on individual problems. Instead, concentrate on group concerns.

If your meeting is for fifty people or less, make it a rule that everyone has to answer a question or voice their opinion at least once. Also let them know the entire meeting is a no whine zone!
