“The best way to ensure productive results is by organizing structured meetings with your team; these are of great value both to the leader and the team members.” -Malay Damania
The question of why our team isn't achieving the results we expect might have puzzled you for some time. Perhaps you thought that if you had a great team and talented people around you, you would delegate work and they would deliver the results you expected.
We assume that our employees have understood the task well and will follow the instructions. But in most cases, this does not happen. In order for this to happen, you need to put in place a step-by-step system and processes. And then you need to regularly monitor the progress of the work.
In this episode, the podcast host Malay Damania discusses how structured meetings can make delegation effective and increase your team’s productivity.
He shares golden tips on following types of structured meetings:
- Team Review Meetings
- Leadership Team Meetings
- Partners Meetings or Director's meetings
