Preparation. No matter how good manager or employee you are, without an agenda or plan specificaly designed for the (already scheduled) meeting, it always ends up to open and time-consuming conversations. From my experience, it might last from 5' to 5 hours, but nowhere close to the intented time and topics.
I tend to use the sandwich approach - start off 'easier' topics to get the group warmed up and receptive, tackle the more challenging topics in the middle and then close off with quick wins/action points to avoid decision fatigue and boost commitment.
I find the driving meetings to be conversations and saving all the "FYI" and notice items for other communications (like email and MSTeams news channel) help meetings a lot. I think the best meetigns are started with a question to the group, even a fun on that is out of cotxt to the meeting, something to get the jaws moving and people interacting helps a lot.
My tip for successful team meetings is first starting with appreciations on the good work and ending with brainstorming on the solving the bottlenecks. The agenda has to be clear while the meeting is scheduled.
I have this team member that always in every meeting wants to make a storm in a glass of water. Is so disrespectful sometimes that I don’t know if is better to confront her or just try to keep the meeting focused on action items.

Staying within topic!!

Eduardo Mangual I suggest you talk with her after the Meeting in private.
This are oppositions, they make people elaborate more on their input.
