 5 Tips for an Effective Team Meeting
By Linda Parker
The team meeting is a major key to success and both daily and monthly meetings need planning and focus. With a strong daily meeting one can create successful day to day operations and with a monthly meeting, you can build an ongoing and sustainable strategy. You are the CEO of your business and your team is not only your staff, but your board as well. As the leader of this team, you need a successful team meeting and strong team strategy to execute your business plan. As CEO of your business, you need to answer key questions, both daily and monthly to create a successful practice.
At each and every meeting you need to ask the following questions of your team and the events of the past period and a series of examples of the follow-ups:- What did we expect to happen? What did we expect to happen in the past 24 hours or month? Did we expect strong business, did we plan for storms, did we schedule correctly?
- What actually did happen? Was our schedule right, did we manage our business correctly? Did we account correctly, and have a plan for no-shows and cancellations?
- What did we do right? What are our successes, did we invite people into our practice? How was our scheduling for productivity? We need to celebrate and learn from our wins.
- What did we do wrong? What could we have done better, learn from our mistakes. This isn’t to beat ourselves up it’s meant to be a learning process.
- How can we learn from what occurred? By coaching ourselves through the process, we can learn from our wins and losses and have greater impact in the process going forward.

 By simply asking these questions at each of your team meetings, you can be dynamic, prolific, and profitable!
