Key Takeaways General meetings are formal meetings of a company's shareholders or guarantors (aka its members). These meetings are optional for private companies but compulsory for public companies.
Annual meetings are typically attended by shareholders and other stakeholders such as directors, managers, and employees. Depending on the requirements, outside experts such as legal advisors and auditors may also be invited to attend.
Meeting attendees should be those who can contribute value to the meeting as a whole, or a specific agenda item. Meeting attendees should be equipped to prepare thoroughly for the meeting. This allows them to collaborate asynchronously with other meeting attendees ahead of the meeting.
Generally speaking, annual meetings are a formal discussion of a company's goals, strategy, financial situation, proposed changes to governance documents, or other pending decisions that require a vote by or approval of the business's owners.
The purpose of the annual meeting is for shareholders to elect the directors. Therefore, holders of voting stock elect either the whole board of directors when there is a single class of directors or some fraction of the board in, for example, staggered boards.
The members (including shareholders) of the company are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM. Members can cast their votes by a physical ballot or postal ballot or through e-voting. Members can appoint proxies to attend an AGM and vote on their behalf only when it is a poll vote.
One-on-one meetings (also known as check-ins, 121s, s, one-to-ones) are a dedicated time for two people to meet. Most commonly, s occur between an employee and their manager to connect on work, career development and growth.
A meeting (pronounced one-on-one or one-to-one meeting) is a regular check-in between two people in an organization – typically a manager and an employee. It's used to give feedback, keep each other in the loop, resolve issues, and help the participants grow in their roles.
Use Polite and Friendly Language: Politeness goes a long way. Simple phrases like “Could you let me know your availability?” or “Would you be open to meeting on one of these dates?” set a respectful tone and encourage a positive response.
