Your boss calls you up and tells you that you need to add an agenda to this meeting, but you don’t want everyone to get the meeting request again and have to accept/decline it. Trust me, people start to get irritated when this happens over and over again.
Plan out an agenda of all points that will need to be discussed. The Timekeeper would make sure each topic is covered within the amount of time mentioned on the agenda. If the person isnt responsible for any of the items discussed in this meeting, dont invite them. Delegate a person to be a a Facilitator, a Timekeeper and a Scribe.
Always start on time and do your best to end on time by following the agenda and "table" topics that require more discussion. If they are late, it is helpful to let them know what agenda item is being discussed--do not go over what has already been discussed--its a time waster. Distribute the agenda/handouts prior to the meeting.
In my case, I am lucky, since I only have to track calls for myself and use my daily journal or agenda (call it what you will) to make notes. Do you wish that you could be able to track calls and make sure that you have all of the details in place? This happens to everyone from time to time.
All of the contact information that you want is in one place - emails, faxes, appts, tasks, file attachments. Date and Time based task lists with daily agenda and tasks viewable in the office or on the road. Tag triggered automatic follow-ups with customers or internal tasks. . (e.g. 5 - Notes. .

Prior to interacting with this person, you should have an agenda or objective and seek to accomplish the goal(s). Look into purchasing an all-in-one fax, printer, and copier. Second in developing the approach, practice active listening skills by clarifying and paraphrasing what you heard so that everyone is on the same page.
How to deal with it: If you keep your bosses calendar, you can ask him ahead of time if he needs anything in particular for the meeting or if you know the agenda you can suggest information your boss can take to the meeting and have it prepared. Look into purchasing an all-in-one fax, printer, and copier.
And of course you don’t want to completely control the meeting, or otherwise disregard the other person’s agenda. Look into purchasing an all-in-one fax, printer, and copier. You don’t want to have to rush through it too much – just a few high-impact slides should do the trick.
If you become timid when it comes to speaking in a group meeting, provided you know what the agenda items are prior to the meeting, put them in writing in proposal form and give them to the Chair before the meeting or slide them to him during the meeting. Look into purchasing an all-in-one fax, printer, and copier.
