When you are operating a business, it is important to have effective team meetings in order to meet the goals of the company.  Brené Brown in her book, dare to lead, talks about how to have team meetings that are more effective and more fulfilling for the team in general.  She shares personal stories from her business, about some of the frustrations that arise in their team meetings and what she has learned as a result.  I hope that as I share my learning, you will be encouraged to try some of the ideas.  For more in-depth reading, please follow the link to Brené Brown’s book at the bottom of this webpage.

What I learned is that all team members must understand the ins and outs of the business so that one person is not the sole connective tissue to the business. If the leader of the team was to get sick or to be away on a business trip, the rest of the team needs to be fully aware of where the business is going and be able to work toward company goals. In order to do this, every member of the team needs to be actively involved and therefore when there is a meeting all members take notes so that the whole team is always kept up to speed. At the end of every meeting everyone’s notes are synthesized into a set of well rounded minutes that better encapsulate what happened at the meeting. Whenever a planning email is to go out to any member of the team it goes to the whole team.  In this way, everyone knows what is going on in all the different areas of work.  It is actually allowing the team access inside your brain.  It is a very vulnerable feeling and this is why it is very important to trust the people on your team.
