Create Accountability With an Agenda

The biggest success we have found is accountability.

We also have three weekly meetings virtually 10 a.m. Monday, 4 p.m. Wednesday and noon on Friday.

Accountability builds credibility and camaraderie.

Allow Time for Informal Interactions

Build a welcoming and warm team culture by encouraging informal virtual interactions.

Organize virtual coffee breaks or casual chat sessions where team members can connect personally.

This helps build trust and camaraderie, making the team more cohesive and effective in their work.

These meetings should go beyond task updates to include personal connection and support.

The meetings should tie intoonemajor yearly goal,onemajor goal per quarter, and monthly and weekly goals.

As the owner, I am currently making a new 30-year plan.

We decide our direction by combining wisdom and intuition with what our clients tell us they desire and require.
