Director Maximizing Leadership Skills: Focused Team Meetings with Directors

[baychef]

Does anyone hold meetings with just their Team Leaders/Directors? I would like to do this and have a meeting that is for a focused group and deals with just developing their leadership skills.

Just thinking this may be benificial for to help them start thinking leadership and leave the basics of booking and recruiting to our regular team meetings.

Does this make sense? Do any of your upper level directors do this? I am going to ask my upper level director, however I love to see and hear what others are doing too!

I am starting one this month with my AD and calling it Drive to Directorship. I am going to hold it as a completely seperate meeting from our monthly team meeting. Between us we have recruited 20 people since January and are really trying to promote some additional directors. Since so many on our teams are now recruiting within their first 30-90 days they often lack the leadership experience (both in PC and their regular lives) to guide newer consultants. Our meeting will be focusing on how to coach and support others. Working their specific prospect lists, setting up the right structure from the start to support the new structure etc.

Jenni, if I could thank you more than once...I would so do it!! Could you please share anything with all of us? We have recruited about 10 (just guessing) but the leads are there. Just not getting the contact info from my consultants and my own follow up has stunk up the place!!

Thought that if I gave this some structure, I could develop the directors I want to grow. Thanks again!

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I think this is a great idea. I have seen some of my upper level directors hold focused team meetings with just their Team Leaders/Directors, and it has been very beneficial for their leadership development. It allows for a more focused and in-depth discussion on leadership skills, rather than trying to cover it in our regular team meetings where we also have to cover other topics like booking and recruiting. I highly recommend giving it a try and I would love to hear how it goes for you. Best of luck!
