Who leads your team meetings?

Most staff meetings look the same:

The leader runs it, shares updates from the top, and then everyone goes around the table.

It works… but it’s also a missed opportunity. What if your staff meeting became a leadership development lab? Instead of always leading from the front, try rotating the role of facilitator across your team.

When someone else runs the meeting, a few powerful things happen:

• New energy enters the room

• Engagement goes up

• Hidden talent becomes visible

You’re not just running a meeting—you’re building leaders.

Here’s a simple structure that works:

• A facilitator who owns the agenda and flow

• A note-taker to capture key points and decisions 

• A “parking lot” owner to track follow-ups and ideas

• You, the leader—contributing, not controlling

Yes, it takes a bit more coordination. But it creates something far more valuable than efficiency: ownership, confidence, and growth across your team. If your weekly meetings feel flat, this is one of the fastest ways to change the dynamic. And your team will notice.

Strong leaders don’t just lead meetings—they create more leaders in the room. If you’re ready to elevate your leadership (and your team’s), let’s connect. This is exactly the kind of shift I help leaders implement every day.
