instruction: How should I go about planning an agenda for the upcoming leadership meeting I am hosting?
response: In order to determine what a good agenda would look like, it's important to first decide what you want to accomplish during your leadership meeting. Common leadership meeting goals are reviewing team performance for the last period, aligning on the priorities and objectives you will focus on for the upcoming year, tackling problems that can best be worked on while you are all in the same room, and building personal and professional relationships through teaming exercises and having common experiences.
  
  Next, you should prioritize which of these goals is most important to you. If you could only accomplish one of them, which would it be? Continue to identify the next most important goal until you have fully prioritized your list of goals.
  
  The next step is to determine how much time you have to dedicate to each topic in order to ensure you can accomplish your goals fully. 
  
  Finally, identify how many breaks you will need to build into your meeting time to ensure team members do not become too mentally taxed. One best practice is to take a 15-30 minute break every 90 minutes, and to take a one hour break every 4 hours.
  
  Once you have identified all of these parameters, you can build your leadership meeting agenda.
