Most leadership meetings are status updates in disguise.
Lots of talk, few decisions, and everyone walks out wondering why they were even there.
But when structured right, your weekly meeting can become the engine that drives focus, accountability, and results.
Why Most Weekly Meetings Don’t Work
- They lack structure and a clear agenda
- Issues get discussed, not solved
- Metrics aren’t reviewed consistently
- There’s no follow-through on priorities or decisions
The result? Meetings drain time instead of fueling momentum.
What a Great Weekly Meeting Looks Like
1. Start with Data
Review your scoreboard: What’s off track? What needs attention? Numbers don’t lie—and they point you to the right conversations.
2. Check on 90-Day Goals (F.A.S.T. Rocks) Are your top priorities on track, at risk, or stalled? This keeps the team focused beyond daily firefighting.
3. Solve Real Issues
Instead of surface talk, identify the root cause. Then define the next clear action. Every week should end with real decisions—not recycled topics.
4. Keep It Tight
Same day,
same time,
same agenda.
Stay disciplined and make it a rhythm your team can count on.
