We've alluded to it, we've talked about it, but we've never until now shared our recommendation for one of the few mandatory meetings we recommend: The Effective Manager's Weekly Staff Meeting.

It's one thing to meet with everyone individually, but Effective Managers know that there is a need for a socializing structure for the team as a unit.
