As someone still working in the corporate world, I would add Step 0: Decide if the meeting is really, really necessary. A vast majority of meetings can be easily avoided with a phone call, or better yet an email. Unfortunately, many people don't get this or refuse to. That is usually because they can get perceived job value just by holding the meeting, whereas for others, the meeting is taking precious time that could have been used for doing other useful work.
