Episode 117 - The Daily, Weekly, Quarterly, and Annual Meetings with Jonathan Goldhill

Episode Summary

The discipline of execution covers meetings that matter, uses metrics and measures that matter, and tackles priorities that matter. The first meeting worth having is the daily huddle. These 15-minute meetings involve the team, round-robin style, and are best used for sharing quick insights and updates for the coming day. Anything longer must be discussed in the next meeting you should be having, the weekly meeting. Every department must have a weekly meeting that reviews quarterly priorities called rocks. Monthly meetings are for larger companies with middle management and these focus on education and building culture. The quarterly meeting takes 1 to 2 days while the annual meeting takes 3 to 5 days. These meetings are typically offsite and cover strategic and execution planning with the one-page business plan. Tune in to learn all about maximizing meetings and being intentional with them in this episode of The Disruptive Successor Show.

JONATHAN: Weekly meetings are best for making decisions "These meetings are most important for identifying, discussing, and solving issues. So decision-making, brainstorming, troubleshooting, making decisions on one or two key issues, opportunities, challenges, and quarterly rocks." JONATHAN: The one-page business plan explained "We use a tool called the one-page business plan, and the purpose of this tool is to really put our vision down on a piece of paper, and to answer several simple questions around your dream, which is, simply put, who, what, when, where, how, why, and the always difficult, should we or shouldn't we."
