Frequently asked questions
What if no clear next steps were agreed?
Propose them yourself in the email: 'Here is what I suggest as next steps, let me know if I missed anything.' Momentum beats perfection.
Should I include everyone from the meeting?
Yes, include all attendees plus anyone who was mentioned as an owner of a next step. Nobody should learn about their task secondhand.
