  • 299 - Team Meetings in the Construction World
    Jun 25 2024

    How do these meetings differ from toolbox talks or even state of the Unions?

    These meetings can be used in different ways

    1. Treat these as a mini-State of the Union for your team

      1. Go over specific things that relate to the company State Of The Union for your specific department

      2. What you’ve done well

      3. What you didn’t do well

      4. Where you can improve

      5. What’s required to get there

    2. Cadence

      1. Monthly or quarterly

    3. Do you run this as a discussion or a speech?
