Looking for something to liven up discussions in your team meetings? Or thinking about starting regular team meetings but worried there won’t be enough to talk about?
Maybe you have lots of regular discussions about ongoing jobs…but need something to add more depth to your team meetings?
Here are some meeting topics to give your team members space to share opinions, spark ideas, and create new possibilities — as well as update them, keep them informed and share news.
- Recent successes 🏆 – What’s worked well and why? How can we take what we learned and use it in the future? What’s been your best ‘win’ since the last meeting?
- Changes afoot 🔄 – What’s happening in the company and department over the next twelve months? What would you like to change and how?
- Knowledge skills and gaps 📚 – What do we as a team and as individuals need to learn, understand, and develop to move forward over the next year?
- Health snapshot ❤️🩹 – How are we taking care of ourselves and each other? What more could we do?
- Improvements 🔧 – What do we need to work on as a team? What would successful improvements look like, and what benefits would they create?
- The business plan 📈 – What’s being planned for the next twelve months or longer? How will that impact us? How can our team contribute to its success?
- Challenges ahead 🚧 – What are our team strengths now? Where are the gaps, and how do we prepare for upcoming challenges?
- Team progress 🤝 – How can we develop more team spirit? How can everyone connect better? How can we build stronger team bonds?
Stop just talking about the jobs that need to be out of the door or off the desk by Friday!
Your team’s effectiveness is about more than just deadlines met and tasks completed.
How well do people collaborate and support each other? How valued do they feel? Do they have each other’s backs?
Teamwork doesn’t just magically happen - it needs to be worked on and developed. Taking the time to discuss more than just tasks will give your team the opportunity to grow, and for that sense of team spirit to be nurtured and flourish. 🌟
