Your company all hands meetings are the most expensive meetings and most are poorly run. The goal of an all hands meeting shouldn’t be: -> fun -> bonding -> celebrating “wins” All that is great but it’s secondary to the key goal. The only goal of an all hands meeting is ALIGNMENT. You can never overdo alignment. The single most important thing for any org to thrive is getting this alignment. How can you tell that your org is completely aligned? If your employees were to wake up at night, they should be able to quote the few key KPIs that everyone is focused on. To get this alignment, every all-hands meeting should at least have the following 5 slides. Every. Single. Time. 1. Vision 2. Mission 3. Strategy 4. Critical outcomes 5. Only a FEW key KPIs that show progress towards these critical outcomes.

We've all been there.... The weekly staff meeting that starts late, lasts too long and achieves precious little. Sadly, The following week we come back for more of the same, hoping for different results. Strategic execution fails a little bit each and every week as we fail to execute on the tactics required to support that plan. Our meetings get off track as we allow ourselves to be drawn into recurring issues, many of which we have seen previously and failed to solve.    If asked to rate the effectiveness of weekly meetings on a scale of 1 to 10, (where 10 is the "perfect" meeting) the average response I receive is somewhere between 4 and 6.    So, what does a great staff meeting look like?    ~starts on Time~ ~ BRIEFLY updates the status of your Scorecard, Key Rocks, and TO DO's~ ~ Any issues identified in the above step(s) are prioritized, discussed and SOLVED in the meeting~  ~ action items are assigned ~ ~The Meeting ends on time~ ~ Participants are held accountable to complete their assigned tasks~ At EOS, we call these Level 10 meetings. Why? Because when asked to rate the meeting's effectiveness participants generally rank them as a "LEVEL 10" A great level 10 meeting is the glue that keeps your entire organization on track. The results are: ~Alignment ~Accountability  ~Focus ~TRACTION !! Let us know if you wish to learn about the magic of Level 10 meetings...

My #1 lesson from 11 years of Clari board meetings: If everyone in the room agrees, I haven’t pushed hard enough. Healthy tension forces us to think deeper. It uncovers hidden traps or unexplored ideas that might be missed in consensus. That’s why I encourage Clari board members to: - Take the opposing view - Poke holes in our plan - Ask the tough questions It’s only after we’ve looked at a problem from every angle that we can move forward with confidence. Want to make the most of your board meetings? Inject a healthy level of tension. P.S. The Executive’s Guide to Successful Board Meetings is live. I’ve pulled together my decade-plus of boardroom experience into a step-by-step playbook. It features healthy tension, meeting structure, follow-up, and more. Grab your copy below.
