Meetings · Arthur translates
How do I make meeting next steps clear?
“Agreement is lovely. A name and a date are better.” — Arthur
Original
“We are aligned on the deliverables going forward.”
Plain English
“Jo will send the draft on Tuesday. Lee will check it by Thursday.”
What the wording leaves out
Agreement sounds lovely, but it is hard to use unless everyone knows what happens next. A short record is enough.
What to check
Finish with the task, one owner and a date. Send that summary to the people who attended.
