Always tell people what happens next with what you just discussed. Without clear follow-up, attendees don't know if their input mattered or what comes after. State the next steps before the meeting ends or in notes afterward.
How to have a great meeting. Tip number 11. Say what happens next. You've brought a group of people together to do a particular activity. They've got to produce an output. You've spent time together. At the end of that process, either in the close of the meeting or in a follow-up you send afterwards, make sure you let people know what happens next. Meetings are very rarely one-off events. They're part of a much bigger process, part of a project or a series of tasks or work that you're trying to do. If you don't let people know what happens next, they might be wondering, well, what's the point? What's going to happen with the things that we just did? So how do you do this? In the last few minutes of the meeting or in the notes you send up afterwards, or even in both, say what's going to happen next. This is what we will do with the output. These are the next steps in this activity. This will help people understand and be clear the value that they're producing and what's going to be done with it. So if you want to have a great meeting, make sure you tell people what's going to happen next.
