Team Huddles are short meetings where each team member shares their number one priority of the day and important updates. These meetings keep team members informed of important information, help hold people accountable, and allow for sharing of collective intelligence. A team huddle is a great alternative to a mundane meeting. This is not the time to solve problems, however, sharing issues or priorities with the team will lead to the sharing of ideas and solutions by others once the meeting is over.
BENEFITS OF TEAM HUDDLE TO TEAMS

  • A chance to ask questions about new projects, plans, initiatives, policies, etc.
  • A glimpse of what is expected of them today (not the far future) so that they know what needs to be worked on and completed
  • An idea of progress that has been made and will be made
  • A time to get everyone on the same page and pumped up for the workday
  • A sense of unity.

Here are a few Team Huddle tips:

  1. Facilitator: It is important to have a meeting facilitator (not necessarily the team leader) that can keep the meeting on track and on time.
  2. Timing: Huddles should start and end at the same time every day, and should not exceed 15 minutes. First thing in the morning often works best as it gives members a chance to share their priority for that day.
  3. Clarity: Allows team members to understand who is doing what and how it fits in with the vision of the organization. This also helps to clarify the expectations of team members.
  4. Be present: It is very important for all team members to be present (either physically present or by phone). Also, each team member should speak each day.
  5. Vision: This is a great opportunity each day to speak of the project vision even if it is just using the language of the vision throughout the huddle.

When huddles are used correctly they can help create a sense of cohesion, drive accountability, and lead to superior results.
Thank you.
