Three Takeaways:
- Don’t assume. Your team may know the vision and goals of your organization, or they may not. Don’t assume everyone is on the same page when it comes to understanding your team’s strategy and how it all comes together to achieve those goals. Remind them often, refocusing on the outcome together.
- Less is more. When doing a team business performance review, aim for a lesser amount of time, but more often. Instead of having a long meeting once a month, try meeting for 30 minutes several times a month. This way, you’re all staying on the same page and making any adjustments in real time.
- Ask great questions. Check in with your team by asking questions such as, what’s best for the organization? What’s best for others in the organization? What’s best for me? What is my personal responsibility as a member of this team? Asking these questions will guarantee your team stays aligned, so carve out regular time with your team to think about these answers.
