I don’t attend meetings
for informational purposes.
During a meeting,
I expect to help make decisions
or to be assigned tasks.
Both of these require documentation.
That’s the job of the note-taker.
“The note-taker provides a written record
to each participant.
Action decisions must be noted in writing.
Affix the proper person’s name
to the action,
along with the deadline completion date.
The moderator
(or another appropriate, assigned person)
is responsible to follow up on each item
until completed by the designated party.”
If you don’t need a note-taker
for your meeting,
you don’t need a meeting.
