How to have a great meeting tip number 9: close the meeting with a summary. You've spent time with a group of people trying to achieve a particular purpose or output. When you wrap up the meeting at the end, summarize what you achieved and what you didn't. If you don't close the meeting with a summary of what you did, people might leave having different ideas of what was done in that meeting and what the output was. So to close your meeting with a summary, say what you hoped to achieve in the meeting, and then say what you did achieve. If the goal was to review and approve a document, if you did that, that's part of your summary. Today we reviewed and approved this document. Thank you for being here. If you want to have a great meeting, and if you want people to leave feeling confident they achieved something, close your meeting with a summary of what was done.
