What do you do to keep an eye on how your team is doing – as individuals and a team?
A less-structured meeting (or part of a regular meeting) can really help: a chance for everyone to check in, say what’s going well and what they’re struggling with, to let off steam, to ask for and offer help, to say what’s on their mind, or kick around a new idea or two.
Super important. Super easy to push aside when things get busy – which is when you most need to know how everyone is doing, and to do all of the things above.
