Summary  
This chapter presents a session-orchestrator pattern: validate preconditions (goal and role), drive an event loop to manage participant input and energy, then finalize with clear state transitions (decisions and next steps).  

General domain of usage  
Remote or hybrid team collaboration

### Key Points:
- Ask if a meeting is **truly needed**, and **clarify its goal** and your role before joining;
- Leaders should **start strong, guide participation**, and end with **clear next steps**;
- Sharing an agenda and monitoring group energy fosters **better collaboration**;
- Participants can show value by staying **present**, **speaking up** when needed, and **signaling engagement**;
- A short **follow-up** or **recap** keeps decisions and actions from getting lost.
