My Wednesday biopsy results and most recent blog Four Purposes for Quarterly Meetings reminded me of the importance of good news and positive reinforcement in building a growing business culture. Recognizing accomplishments achieved at Quarterly Planning Meetings is just one step in the meeting rhythm cycle that offers good news and positive impact on your team. Daily Huddles include opportunities for every one of your staff to report on victories they’ve achieved each day.

Should leaders hold their people accountable privately during one-on-one sessions or Group meetings? Although every case is a little different, generally Patrick Lencioni and Positioning Systems experience leads us to support that on cohesive teams, accountability is best handled with the entire team.

In Get Greater Accountability, Individual Meetings or Team Meetings? I failed to outline some of the more positive outcomes that come from group meetings and individual meetings. Let’s look also at private and public accountability and why the latter works so much better in group meetings.

Accountability. It’s a critical element in organizations that grow. Last Monday at about 2:15 AM one of the doctors took accountability for me, made a decision to send me to the ICU possibly saving my life, I didn’t want to go there, I liked being in the familiar. He looked at the larger picture. The trends he saw disturbed him. Continuing fever for two and half days. Hemoglobin being absorbed almost as fast as they could put it in me. Plus the disturbing rate my heart was pumping at, and the balance between the low and high number they give on blood pressure. (The bottom number is not good if it drops below 60.)

You’re clear on your One Thing. You feel there’s some traction in your leadership team, yet something seems amiss in your weekly meeting rhythm meetings. The meetings are sedate, absent excitement, conflict and drama that you feel might exemplify a team grinding together to get things done. Is this good or bad?

Here’s what I’ve learned about the people that have been taking care of me. A nurse’s son got hit by a vehicle that didn’t have any insurance, totaling his car and delaying her arrival by 4 hours. He’d just gotten his first vehicle two weeks ago. Another’s wife works as a minister in a community several hours away and they see each other only on weekends. He loves to fish and is a very good cook. (His desserts are terrific!)

Last night my sleep pattern was severely disrupted. About 10:30 PM the nurses discovered I was running a slight fever. Immediately they jumped into action. On the Leukemia ward of the hospital anyone suffering from a fever is handled seriously.

Someone once said that a vacation is anything you do that is outside your normal range of work. I guess that means I’m on vacation. At least that’s where I planned to be this week.

Imagine the people who worked around you were responsible for your life. Living or dying literally could be in their hands and their ability to concentrate and remain focused on the right things might make that type of difference?
