Chapter 20. The  Meetings Bucket

CORE COMPETENCY #20:
We design meetings like an architect designs buildings. We have high expectations that our purpose-driven meetings will enhance team-building, accountability and our commitment to results. We value Holy Spirit-led meetings. We reject boring meetings.

RESOURCES IN THE MEETINGS BUCKET:

• WORKSHEET #20.1: "Weekly Update to My Supervisor." Download this two-page Word document and ask each of your direct reports to customize it for your weekly one-on-one staff meetings. (Read Chapter 20. If this form was good enough for a Harvard Business School case study, maybe it's good enough for you!)
