10 minutes at 10 past 10 (each day)

One of my clients reported that he has implemented a: 10 minutes at 10 past 10 (each day).

This means, that at 10.10am each working day, all the staff in his office, from all departments will meet for 10-minutes to bring each other up to speed with the following:

1. What was my victory yesterday?
2. What is my priority today?
3. What am I stuck with today?

I think this is a great thing to do. All business owners must implement this, doesn't matter if it is not at 10 past 10.

Another client, who implemented this has instructed all his staff to meet him at the end of each working day and share with him, the one positive thing that happened on that day.

Implementing this has many benefits: for one, all the staff will be aware of what's going on in other departments, and perhaps, as the day progresses, offer support in terms of ideas or suggest solutions to each other. This opens up channels of communications among the staff.

Furthermore, it enables everyone to record their victories, or reflect on the positive happenings on a particular day to build inner strength for the next challenge ahead.

With me, at 10 past 10pm, when I am about to call it a day (yes, I tuck in early!) I spend 10-minutes to reflect on the wonderful things that happened on that day.

So, it can be 5 minutes at 5 past 5 (each day), but do it regularly. You'll see your organization succeed!
