It was Alexander Graham Bell who told us “Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” Does that hold true for “meetings”? Harvard Business Review tells us we must learn how to master the “pre-meeting – the steps you need to take before a more formal meeting in order to prepare for it.” Why?
