Running team meetings is not easy. There is so many different ways to run weekly team meetings. Too many managers find themselves the only one really talking during the meeting and staff look bored, looking at their phones or otherwise not really engaged.

Effective meetings are where everyone is clear on the purpose of the meeting, everyone is engaged and participates and at the end of the staff meeting, everyone has actions or next steps to go and do. 

Team meetings are super useful in increasing communication, co-ordination, support and teamwork. I view weekly team meetings as part of the core foundation of communication and prioritisation needed to improve team performance over time.

How to have a great staff meeting starts with communicating what the meeting will achieve, and what is expected from everyone who attends. Running effective meetings is also about who attends. If they are not going to participate, they don’t need to be in the meeting. 

Aim to keep weekly staff meetings short. You have them each week so wasting time is a no no. Create a clear agenda and circulate prior to having the meeting – a key practice in how to run a team meeting effectively.

Effective meeting management should make the meeting about creating actions and improvements in the work the team does. Ensure that each meeting attendee leaves with an action. 

The first agenda item sharing results achieved since the previous weekly meeting. Next, set goals to achieve for the next weekly team meeting. Third share challenges and organise help and lastly, celebrate wins and successes.

I go into detail on how to use each agenda item so you know how to run team meetings effectively. Make the weekly team meeting as useful as possible to everyone attending!
