Hey Mary,

Thanks for the post. We've likely all seen the effects of floundering leadership, but missed the red flags that showed us we were headed there. Thanks for highlighting them.

I tell our staff that regular staff meetings are to:

1. Make decisions about things that must be decided together.
2. Ask and answer questions relevant to projects and personnel that affect a majority of the people in the meeting.
3. Communicate information that can't be more efficiently communicated with everyone in any other way.

This helps keep these meetings concise, relevant and focused.

Thx, God bless,
Chad
