Normally, I am not one to advocate for lengthy meetings. Today, I attended a half day meeting including roughly 10% of the company (~50 mostly managers representing all of the various departments). I found this one to be quite interesting and productive. We reviewed our 2019 performance with a look forward to 2020 and talked about new approaches to building a great team and leadership principles we would like to embrace. I did a presentation on Consensus Ranking, a tool I created to help with salary management, which was received very well. A team dinner including many of the attendees followed at the Puritan & Company which proved to be a very enjoyable dining experience and time for team bonding.
