What is the proper way to conclude a business meeting?

Most people are so anxious to leave (or make their next meeting) that results of the meeting aren’t summarized, expectations of what is to happen before the next gathering aren’t agreed-upon, and the positive aspects and the areas that need improvement aren’t recognized and acknowledged. Be sure the meeting agenda includes 15 minutes at the end to guarantee all group members are on the same page in the hymnal.
