It’s Tactical Tuesday!
Here is the Thought, Tip, and Tool of the week...
___________________________
The Thought
Did you know... that only 35% of employees feel their meetings are a good use of time? (Source: Microsoft Work Trend Index) That’s because many meetings are run by managers focused solely on output. Leaders, on the other hand, know that fostering relationships and development in meetings leads to higher engagement and retention. Teams with engaged employees experience 21% greater profitability (Source: Gallup).
___________________________
The Tip
Remember to… open with purpose, not just agenda. Start meetings by asking your team, “What’s one thing you’ve learned this week?” or “What’s one challenge we can solve together today?” This simple shift sets the tone for collaboration and continuous growth. Add an intentional activity each week to increase engagement.
