Action Items
(No specific dated action items or owners were assigned during this meeting, as it was an instructional overview.)
Introduction to Level 10 Meeting
The Level 10 Meeting aims to improve the effectiveness of leadership team meetings, which on average are rated as only a "4 out of 10" by business owners.
It is positioned as a time management tool that saves time and increases team accountability.
Five foundational rules: same day, same time, same agenda, start on time, end on time.
Level 10 Meeting Flow and Agenda
The meeting starts exactly on time, fostering punctuality and preparedness.
The meeting opens with a "good news" segment (both personal and professional) to transition from daily work into strategic thinking and build team connection. This takes about 5 minutes.
Reporting Mode (First 15 Minutes)
Scorecard Review: Check if key measurable numbers are on track (5 minutes).
Rock Review: Confirm whether quarterly priorities ("rocks") are on track (5 minutes).
Customer/Employee Headlines: Share succinct updates or notable events regarding customers or employees (5 minutes).
Any items that are off track, or need discussion, are added to the issues list—no discussion takes place during reporting.
Accountability (To-Do List Review, 5 Minutes)
Review last week’s to-do list; the goal is to complete at least 90% of assigned tasks weekly.
This portion highlights accountability and continuity between meetings.
Issue Solving (IDS, 60 Minutes)
The main part of the meeting is devoted to IDS: Identify, Discuss, and Solve top prioritized issues.
The issues list, built from prior agenda sections, is prioritized and addressed in order of importance.
For each issue, the team identifies the root cause, discusses solutions, and commits to action steps (which become to-dos for the next week).
The process is dynamic; some weeks only a few issues are solved, other weeks several.
Meeting Conclusion (Last 5 Minutes)
Recap the newly assigned to-dos.
Identify any messages that need to be cascaded to the wider organization.
Each team member rates the meeting from 1-10; less than 8 triggers discussion and improvement.
The meeting ends exactly on time to avoid schedule conflicts.
Decisions
Adopt Level 10 Meeting Framework — The structure and philosophy outlined will be used to improve meeting effectiveness and team accountability.
