How you run meetings tells a lot about how you run your life, your company, your team, and your mind.

A well-run meeting amps up your people, coordinates them, smooths out edges, sets the tone, and delivers a forward progression.

A bad meeting feels soul-sucking, inefficient, and like all of us together are dumber than just one of us.

This is the exact template I use to manage our meetings at Contrarian Thinking. It helps us stay organized and efficient.

Try it out for your business, it’s a game-changer.

Meeting Agenda:

• The Compass: CEO or team lead opener
• Content Calendar & Events: What is coming up?
• Customer/Employee headlines: Cool testimonials, or feedback we need
• Issues & Ideas: Internal issues to discuss solutions
• Biz Unit Breakouts: Specific metrics, reporting & updates by each biz unit
• Resources & Links: Useful links for the team
• Meeting Summary: Recap of the meeting

The Compass:

At Contrarian, we also call this Codie’s Quick Hits. At the beginning of your company meetings, your CEO or team lead should give a quick overarching update that is inspirational & useful for the team. You should use this time to also give any big company-wide updates.

• Example: Go over one, or a few, of your company values & how we embody it present-day as a company
• Example: Go over metrics from the past & present day to show how much you’ve grown
