Explanation

The two root problems described are lack of preparation (attendees arrive unprepared) and lack of follow-through (no accountability for previous action items). A prepared agenda distributed in advance (A) gives attendees time to review topics, prepare input, and arrive ready to contribute - directly addressing the preparation gap. Documenting and circulating meeting minutes (E) creates a written record of decisions and assigned actions, holding attendees accountable between meetings. Providing lunch (C) is an incentive that doesn't fix the structural issues. Escalating non-attendance (D) is punitive and doesn't address why people aren't attending. Allowing unstructured catch-up time (B) further reduces meeting efficiency.
