-Did problems and polite (or not so polite) bickering dominate the airtime? 
-Did people show up with an agenda of their own? 
-Were the same topics that were debated in the last meeting still being debated in this meeting?
-Was much time spent on discussing ideas to create value for the firm and stakeholders? Was there substantive progress or even agreement on problems and priorities?

-Did people leave feeling like their questions were answered and their priority clear? 
-Were meeting notes promptly distributed?
