If you want participation later in a meeting, starting with a list that allows others to give input is a great way to warm up. Listed below are several possible lists that can be fun to make, helpful to you, and a jump-start to the rest of the meeting.

• The best changes of the past two years
• Little improvements that make a big difference
• Tools we have today that we did not have five years ago
• Ways we could spend an extra $100
• How you would spend an extra hour a day
• Qualities of the ideal coworker
• Areas that need more attention
• Communication items most likely to get lost
