FAQs
Q: How early should I send the agenda?

Q: What if people ignore the agenda?
A: Start the meeting by reading it aloud and getting a thumbs-up. End every meeting by reviewing the outcomes.

A: Yes, with consent. AI tools now extract decisions automatically.
Q: Are agendas needed for 1:1s?
A: Yes. Shared doc where both parties add items during the week.
