objective
The main purpose of holding a meeting is to increase the volume of viable ideas. Poor suggestions can turn out as torments at work. To avoid such problems, the leader should enter with definite questions he aims to answer. Your plans should be clear before you start, because the team should not feel their creative ideas are falling into a black hole. Your ideas and energy will automatically enhance when you see your team responding. The meeting should have a definite agenda in order to escape distracters and side conversations. Having a proper objective binds the interest of the employees and allows them to reflect on it later on.
