Understand the difference between morning and monthly staff meetings. The morning meeting alerts everyone about what and who to expect as the day unfolds. To help keep morning meetings brief—no longer than 15 minutes—save questions or comments about broader issues for the monthly staff meetings. If you have a pressing issue on your mind, take it directly to the office manager or your immediate supervisor rather than bringing it up in the morning meeting.
