Let's face it - the phrase 'I wish I could go to more meetings today' is not a sentiment commonly heard in the workplace. Meetings, despite their integral role, often draw attention for the wrong reasons. According to Otter.ai, remote work has led to a 70% increase in weekly meetings, with an additional 10% in meeting time, resulting in three extra meetings per week for employees. Atlassian adds that the average employee attends 62 meetings per month, with half of them considered a waste of time. 
 
As the facilitator, you hold the key to transforming these statistics. Your meeting, your accountability. You shape how time is spent, how contributions are valued, and how focus is maintained. 
 
Join Jennie & Craig as they unravel the intricacies of holding an effective meeting. Discover strategies, tips, and ideas to elevate your facilitation skills, ensuring meetings become a space where time flies, contributions are enthusiastic, and focus is unwavering.

The importance of setting boundaries to give yourself enough space and time to create, produce, get work done, and to simply find time to think, cannot be underestimated.  

In this Leader Lesson, Jennie and Craig define Boundaries, discuss why they are important and what the risk of not having any is, and – importantly, consider the importance of how and why to communicate your boundaries to your teammates.

As a leader the expectations are vast – drive engagement, foster high-performance and cultivate a sense of belonging within your team. All this while ensuring the seamless execution of day – to – day tasks. Today’s teams are very human, dynamic, and often decentralized. It’s imperative for leaders to adopt an approach that mirrors the intricacies of human interaction, acknowledging the emotions and inter-dependence that characterize modern teams.
 
 Join Craig and Jennie as they navigate the labyrinth of team dynamics, offering insights into how leaders can architect environments that guarantee engagement, create the conditions for high performance and foster genuine connection between all members of the team.
 
 Curious? So are we:
 
 What distinguishes task and social connection: do the nuances between these two set the foundation for well rounded team dynamics?
 
 What are the elements that drive engagement? Is it a catchy buzzword, or critical to success?
 
 What is beyond the forming – storming – performing model still so widely used?
