Field Note #7
← Back to Busy Leader Field Notes
A weekly huddle prevents the silent drift that creates surprise fires.
Why it matters
- Stops misalignment early
- Surfaces blockers before they become emergencies
- Builds accountability through commitments
- Replaces status theatre with decisions
Do this (agenda)
- Wins + learnings (5 min)
- Progress on priorities (10 min)
- KPIs / metrics (5 min)
- Blockers + decisions needed (10–15 min)
- Commitments for next week (5 min)
Common traps
- Turning it into deep problem-solving
- No clear owners after the meeting
- Inconsistent schedule (so it loses power)
