Think about the last meeting you attended.
- Did you look forward to meeting?
- During the meeting, were issues resolved?
- After the meeting, did you feel energized and ready to get things done?
- don’t have a set agenda
- don’t start or end on time
- don’t hold attendees or the leaders accountable for agreed actions
- are merely status/check-in/update meetings
- don’t solve issues
- We are moving the business forward every week.
- We spend only 5 minutes reporting on our 7 metrics. If anything is off-track, we move it to the Issue-Solving section of our meeting.
- We hold each other accountable, meaning if something isn’t getting done, we find out why and make adjustments.
- We identify, process and put the steps in place to solve the most important issues impacting our business.
- We score the meeting.
If your attendees answered NO to two or more of these questions, the meeting was either unnecessary or simply bad. Evidence suggests most of us would answer a resounding NO to all 3 questions!
Bad meetings:
With the work environment being what it is over the last year and a half, everyone seems to be especially tired of meetings! Check-in or status meetings waste precious time and zap the energy of your team. These types of updates can be accomplished via email, or even better, via collaboration apps such as Teams or Slack.
Have you heard of the EOS Level 10 meeting?
Here at Arcus, we have weekly meetings with our leadership team that hold us accountable to our weekly, quarterly, and annual goals. We follow the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) Level 10 meeting structure which has served us extremely well as we build our business.
The meetings are called Level 10 because we are always working to score a 10 out of 10 on the effectiveness of the meeting. We don’t always score a 10, but most of the time we do. How do we accomplish this?
The Reward for a Good Meeting
I always look forward to these meetings!
We always solve any issues at hand.
I always feel energized when the meeting is done!
If you are asking for people’s time, I encourage you to take a hard look at the purpose and structure of your meeting. Imagine leading a meeting where people leave it feeling energized and ready to move the business forward. It’s a great feeling for them, for you and for the company!
Let us know if you’re interested in learning more and we’d be happy to share the dashboard and other tools we use to help keep us on track!
