I'd just make one more suggestion. I use 'timed agendas' where each item on the agenda has a time limit. This keeps attendees from waxing on about one topic and causing the meeting to either run over or be unable to complete the entire agenda. It also makes people be more succinct with their commentary.

I might add to your list to not overcrowd the meeting. Try to limit the number of attendees to 8 or maybe even 6. Much more productive. You’re absolutely right.

As a fellow meeting-averse person, your tips are right on the money. I also like when an ending time is set for the meeting, published ahead of time, and the chair of the meeting makes sure people are done on time! Thanks for a great post!
