 - Abandonment Meetings
August 22, 2022

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

Method 2: The 5 Questions

Give the team 0 to 2 points per question for how well the following were addressed. 

  1. Was everyone one-time and prepared in advance?
  2. Was the team forthcoming and honest, or did you sense members “holding back”?
  3. Did we achieve clear next steps?
  4. Was progress made on to-dos and Rocks?
  5. Were metrics achieved or a plan made to work towards achievement?
