The best meeting policy I saw was this one:

1) All meetings are capped to be maximum 15 minutes long. No exceptions. (This means everyone have to be prepared, and there are pre-designed meeting plans to follow).

2) There are two slots each day that can be used anytime: one "briefing" in the morning, and one "debriefing" in the evening. If something urgent happens, there is also one possible slot mid-day for emergency meetings, to be used sparingly.

Did they ever not schedule the first and last meeting? How often were those meeting pointless? How often did they run out of time and have to abandon the meeting? What did they do when that happened?
