SYS 062: Your Staff Will Love This Monthly Meeting

A ‘Task Board Review’ is a monthly meeting Steve has with his staff which allows everybody to get on target and make sure they are focusing on the right task at the right time. Listen to how Steve holds his meetings to see how this could benefit your organization.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  Steve has a regular one to one with each of his staff he manages. In this meeting the tasks undertaken are discussed to pinpoint which jobs on their task board need prioritising.  Lost or under prioritised tasks can be rescued in this manner and the staff members focus can be standardised with others through Steve’s overview of the whole business.  With monthly comprehensive meetings such as the ‘Task Board Review’ the staff can be offered a degree of autonomy with minimum intervention yet still be kept on an even keel, heading in the same direction as the rest of the business.  BEST MOMENTS  ‘Doing this is one of the best things I do for the teams productivity, motivation and for getting people to work independently but all heading in the same direction.’  ‘So these meetings, we call them ‘Task Board Review Meetings’ are really, really essential part of being able to delegate work out and to let people get on with stuff, to have a bit of autonomy, a bit of independence, but not just letting it continue indefinitely so you end up getting resentful..’ ‘So now she’s walked away from that meeting feeling calm, feeling ready to actually crack on and knowing exactly what is the highest priority thing for the company that she should be working on.’
