Good points. A few other things to consider:
*Have a purpose to your meeting – not just an agenda. “As a result of this meeting, we will …. ”
*start the meeting on time
*Keep note of the decisions made, not just key discussions
*before you wrap up the meeting, check – did this meeting accomplish its original objective? Have we fulfilled the meeting’s purpose?
*And restate your decisions before the end of the meeting – review deadlines/assignments, confirm communication methods to others“7 things go wrong in meetings: 1) treating meetings as free, 2) confusing activity with achievement, 3) winging it, 4) poor prioritizing, 5) inviting the wrong people, 6) minutes vs. decisions, 7) failing to improve.” LeadershipIQ
