Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best way to keep the meeting on track is by preparing and following an agenda. This will help Rachel ensure that all important topics are covered and prevent the members from going off on tangents. Making decisions beforehand on her own could lead to a lack of member input and engagement. Sending meeting minutes after the meeting is not proactive in keeping the meeting focused. Establishing a defensive communication climate and encouraging groupthink could also have negative impacts on the productivity of the meeting.
