This guidance tells you how to prepare for meetings where politics are going to play a role (which is to say, ALL of them). ;-)

Most folks don’t do any preparation for the meetings they go to, unless they’re presenting something. This is a mistake, particularly when we’re meeting with folks who are more senior, or who are outside of our team. In either case, you’ll be far more effective if you know who wants what and who likes whom.

good tip to try this with your own staff meetings

The recommendations in this cast are solid.  It was mentioned briefly that one way to get started would be to do this with your own staff meetings. This is an excellent idea that is practical to implement and may not be as intimidating.
