In EOS Traction, the Weekly L10 Meeting is one of the best ways to get your Executive Teams aligned. While I use Scaling Up for all my coaching, I find the timed structure and scoring system of the L10 effective in keeping the meetings focused. Below is my recommendation on a default rubric until your team creates its standard.
Method 1: Deduction Based
Start the meeting at a ten and deduct points as you go. Each deduction is per event. Therefore, two late members would merit a one-point deduction.
Severity | 0.25 Point Deduction | 0.5 Point Deduction | 1 Point Deduction |
|---|---|---|---|
Rock “Off-Track” 2 Weeks in a Row | X | ||
To-Do Not Done 3 Weeks in a Row | X | ||
Unexcused No-Show | X | ||
External Disruption (Phone, Email, Text, Dog Barking etc) | X | ||
Talking Over Team Members | X | ||
Technical Issues | X | ||
Going Over Time, In Any Stage of the Meeting | X | ||
Late | X | ||
Meandering Meeting / Lack of Focus | X | ||
Member Leaving Early | X | ||
Metric Missed 3 Weeks in a Row | X | ||
Metrics Entered During Meeting | X | ||
Shouting and Bullying Members | X | ||
To-Do Not Done | X | ||
Unengaged Member | X | ||
Data Not Entered Before the Meeting | X |
Method 2: The 5 Questions
Give the team 0 to 2 points per question for how well the following were addressed.
- Was everyone one-time and prepared in advance?
- Was the team forthcoming and honest, or did you sense members “holding back”?
- Did we achieve clear next steps?
- Was progress made on to-dos and Rocks?
- Were metrics achieved or a plan made to work towards achievement?
