Chris Dyer of PeopleG2 on replacing one-on-one meetings with team meetings, why leaders should stop handing out answers, and how champions speed up change.
Chris Dyer, founder of PeopleG2 and author of The Power of Company Culture, makes the case for replacing one-on-one meetings with team meetings, and walks through the other habits he dropped on the way to a people-first culture.
Watch to learn:
• Why the weekly boss-and-direct-report check-in stalls decisions
• How team meetings carry goals, approvals, and accountability instead
• The year Chris promised himself he would not give anyone the answer
• Why a bad idea will not move people, no matter how much information you share
• How pairing champions with slow adopters speeds up change
• What "trade the pain" means for teams that meet across time zones
Chris is clear about the caveat: "I don't mean you can't meet one-on-one if you're in a project with someone." His target is the standing meeting that turns into a permission loop, where "decisions get delayed" and people stop owning their own calls.
