Most meetings focus on tasks, updates, and deadlines. Others focus on people, growth, and trust. Both are necessary—but they serve very different purposes.

In this solo episode of Relationships at Work, Russel Lolacher explores the difference between management meetings and leadership meetings, and why leaders need to be intentional about which one they’re running.

Management meetings help move the work forward.
Leadership meetings help move the people forward.

When leaders confuse the two, teams either lose clarity around execution or connection to purpose. But when meetings are designed with intention, they become powerful tools for both productivity and culture.

Russel also shares practical ways to define the purpose of your meetings, design agendas that match that purpose, and create the right balance between leadership and management over time.

Because meetings aren’t just calendar invites—they’re culture in real time.
