Yes, it’s true. Getting your team together for a regular meeting can be a pain in the butt because you run out of things to say, get sick of chairing them and the team don’t want to come anyway.

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll share some simple rules to make sure your team meetings are inspirational, educational, informational and lots of fun so that the team will want to come and, more importantly, make things happen as a result!

Practical advice and solutions expressed clearly and concisely.

Firstly, some good ground rules.

  • Team meetings should be held regularly on previously scheduled dates and should only be changed as a last resort.
  • Ideal length of a good team meeting is 45 to 60 minutes (up to 90 minutes where a special presenter, guest trainer or worthwhile activity is scheduled).
  • Ideally a team meeting should be held at least once per fortnight.
  • All meetings should start and finish on time and persistent latecomers should be actively counselled. Rewarding “on time” attendance and meeting starts is worthwhile.
