SYS 126: The Holy Trinity of Company Meetings: Optimizing Effective Communication, Collaboration, and Results

Systemize Your Success Podcast - A podcast by Dr Steve Day - Thursdays

Categories:

🎙Find out three essential meetings to balance cadence, focus, length and discipline in meetings and also to be available for questions without opening yourself up to constant interruptions of your time. Using these methods you can build much more efficiency into the running of your business and increase the trust and teamwork of your staff.     KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡The Daily Standup meeting is the hub of the business, it allows you to be able to know what your team is doing daily, help them with challenges, and ensure team focus. 💡If the staff know they have access to ask questions the following day, then they have less need to interrupt managers.   💡Weekly 121s with your team will allow your team to share with you details about work, perhaps personal, that need to be discussed on a more private level.   💡The Company or Departmental meeting is where you talk about company-wide announcements, company values, goals, updates on tasks,  and any company-wide issues. 💡An hour is a good maximum length for a company meeting, but ensure that one particular subject does not dominate by organising an additional meeting for that particular subject. This will ensure the presence of all staff is fully utilised. BEST MOMENTS 1:13 - 💬 ‘If you can get this right then your whole company will work much more efficiently. There will be less interruptions between people or into your life as well.’ 2:45 - 💬 ‘If you only speak to your team members once a week about what they’re actually working on and getting a pulse for the business, then you can go quite far down the wrong path before they can get pulled back in. So it's not about micromanaging; it's about being there to support people.’ 5:20 - 💬 ‘The Weekly 121 is an opportunity to build trust, and more importantly, it is not an opportunity for you to start delegating more work or to take over the meeting and start running it.’ 9:34 - 💬 ‘So you’re not flooding your team with multiple team meetings, which kills everyone’s productivity, start with one Company Meeting. People see the benefit of it, they enjoy it, they get the agenda, they learn how it works, and then you start putting other helpful and needed meetings to progress things forward.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES   Facebook Group: Facebook.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/   Website: www.SystemizeYourSuccess.com   LinkedIn: LinkedIn.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/   Instagram: Instagram.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing   YouTube: YouTube.com/DrSteveDay   ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business, but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change how he worked.
