How often do you meet with your team without actually communicating with them? For one team I worked with recently, that kind of meeting was commonplace. Now they were offsite with an opportunity to dig deeply into some of the most pressing questions facing the team. Three hours into the day, one of the participants said how much he was enjoying the session because “we meet a lot but we don’t talk very much.”
It was a funny statement at first because this was not a group of wallflowers.
