Leadership team
The weekly leadership meeting: key figures, wins, priorities and the escalations to settle, in one hour.
- Every week, 60 min
- 5 min to speak, each
Free. Your first meeting starts from this template, and everything stays editable.
Who it’s for
Executive committees, management teams and founders who steer an organisation week by week.
Why this format
- Figures come writtenEach lead brings their key figures in writing, so the meeting discusses them instead of reading them out.
- Escalations get settledTopics that need a decision are listed and end with a recorded decision.
- Priorities are sharedEach member's priorities are visible to the others, which shows overlaps and gaps.
What everyone prepares
Before the meeting, each person fills in their check-in in a few minutes, from a computer or a phone. Here is one, as it looks in Ronde.
Key figures
- Revenue: €412k this month, up 6%
- Churn: 1.8%
Wins
- Signed the regional partnership
Priorities
- Hire two account managers
- Close the Q4 budget
Escalations
- Support backlog: hire a temp or delay the launch?
How a session runs
- IntroEveryone joins, in the room or on the call: the screen shows who is here and what is on the agenda.
- Round table5 min eachEach person in turn shares their check-in, with a timer; the others raise a hand, react or say thanks.
- Open topicsThe subjects raised along the way, with the decisions taken and the follow-up actions.
- Wrap-upThe minutes are ready: decisions, actions and their owners, everyone’s check-in.
Ready with this template
Each meeting turns modules on or off as it likes; these come switched on.
- Meeting usefulnessAt the wrap-up, everyone rates how useful the meeting was, from 1 to 5, anonymously; the average is tracked in the stats.
- Reactions and signalsEmoji reactions and signals (too long, louder…) flying across every screen.
- Raised hands and questionsRaise a hand or ask a question during a turn: a questions step follows that turn.
- KudosThank a teammate during the meeting; kudos show on every screen and in the minutes.
- TimeboxA topic of its own on the agenda, with its own duration and its notes in the minutes.
- Decision logEvery “Decision:” line of the notes, from every session, in one searchable list open to the whole team.
Tips to run it well
- Keep it to three figures per person: the trend matters more than the detail.
- End with the escalations, so the decisions are the last thing everyone hears.
