I have been attending my Director's meetings since I started with PC 6 years ago. And, have been sharing meetings with her since I promoted. I've decided to start holding my own meetings beginning 2012...I'm excited and a little freaked-out about it too!
I have 14 consultants on my team, 12 of them live in the Atlanta area. We are scattered all over, up to 70 miles apart; I live south of the city, some of my team live not far from me, but others live on the north and west sides of town. Because of the distance and our horrible rush-hour traffic, most of them won't come to our Tuesday night meeting, can't really say that I blame them, most of them have already worked a full day too. I'm planning to hold a Sunday afternoon meeting. Several have already told me that they would make the effort to come to that and that excites me. At our combined Tuesday meeting I usually only have 1 or 2 that will come on a regular basis and that is just depressing for me.
I'm hoping this will make me a better director for my team. I feel like I've been 'riding my Director's coat-tails' for the longest time and am hoping that this will also help my team bond (they hardly know each other), to feel more accountable and put more effort into their own business.
I'm really excited about this decision.
Now, I just need to figure out how I want my meetings to flow. I plan to mostly follow the agenda that PC gives us, but I want to put my own spin on them and have some fun! Trying to figure out an inexpensive, easy but inspiring reward system for them too. Most of my team are hobbiest (hoping this will change) so I definately want something that will be acheivable for them as well. I want everyone to walk away from the meeting feeling inspired, appreciated and ready to take it to the next level!
ok peeps....lay the tips and ideas on me!
