9. Making Your Staff Meetings Matter
Staff meetings are a fact of life in the nonprofit world.
Your staff meetings provide an opportunity to convey information, solicit ideas, allow for group discussion, problem solve and create a sense of community.
With planning and intent, it is possible to shift the tenor of your staff meetings from a dry, necessary obligation, or even worse a tableau of agency dysfunction, to an engaging manifestation of best practice for staff engagement, collaborative decision making and agency commitment.
Today’s episode will explore clarifying the purpose of your staff meeting as the building block of convening groups in a way that builds a strong work culture.
By shifting your approach to seeing the purpose of a meeting from inputs to outcome, you have taken the first step in setting the stage for more meaningful staff.
This episode provides tools to making that shift in planning and convening your staff meetings.
