How to run management meetings that don't suck
Sick of chasing your tail, having to repeatedly solve the same problems that come up again and again? It’s probably because your management meetings aren’t as effective as they should be (or, you’re not running them at all).
Sick of chasing your tail, having to repeatedly solve the same problems that come up again and again? It’s probably because your management meetings aren’t as effective as they should be (or, you’re not running them at all).
Today, we’re handing you an approach (and a free downloadable template) that will make sure your weekly meetings never suck again, and your problems stay solved.
Why You Need to Huddle Up
Running shifts is like steering a canoe. If everyone's paddling in different directions, it's all just splashing and noise. Weekly meetings are the compass that keeps everyone aligned and heading the same way, and stuff done on time.
Sure, it's another thing on your plate, but the payoff is massive:
Less Stress: With a united team, those daily headaches turn into a sense of control 😌
More Efficiency: Imagine cutting labor costs by as much as 3% 😎
Consistency: The same great experience for your customers, no matter who's in charge 🤩
Sounds good, right?
Making these meetings work isn't rocket science, but it does take some intention:
Set an Agenda: Know what you're talking about and stick to it 🧐
Trust the Data: No fuzzy numbers, please, they’re not helping anyone 🤓
Everyone Talks: If one person's hogging the mic, it’ll be boring as. Keep it lively and engaging 😛
These weekly meetings were a key pillar in turning the large pub we originally bought from burning through cash to being profitable, and our group - as it grew - from offering inconsistent experiences to being perfectly in tune.
We’ve shaped our approach into a template you can print off and use fresh each week, and you can grab it right here.
All yours, team. And if you ever want advice on how to get the most out of any of our resources, we're only ever a quick message away.
