Jeff Bezos has a diligent and unique approach to internal meetings.
The Amazon founder requires the leader to write a good memo with clarity of recommendations and supporting documentation.
At the start of the meeting, participants are given 30 minutes to read and think about the content - in silence. Then discussion can be explored and decisions made.
Bill Gates famously said, "You have a meeting to make a decision, not decide on the question".
Peter Drucker brutally observed that the ideal number of meetings in an organisation is zero and an overabundance of meetings is a symptom of a sick organisation.
Run an effective leadership team meeting
In the podcast we explore the Leadership team meeting and unpack the basic structure.
Too many meetings talk about what has happened or what you're doing to do.
This creates a problem.
The real benefit of a group of leaders meeting is to isolate roadblocks to goals and spent time solving problems together removing roadblocks.
With that in mind, we've set up the leadership team to leverage the data insights of Waymaker.io with a simple leadership team agenda.
A great leadership team meeting of an organisation, unit or team does four things:
Shares the wins and positive progress from around the businessStays on top of business healthCreates accountability for individual goalsRemoves roadblocks for individuals to reach those goals.Item 4 is actually the most important part of the meeting and most time should be spent on that.
