Get everyone's commitment to honouring the cadence and making implementing your strategy a priority.
You have all your strategic meetings. Set some ground rules as a team to make sure these meetings are prioritised and you don't make decisions that impact negatively on these meetings.
Examples:
- We don't move these meetings unless we absolutely have no other option (Don't kick the can down the road)
- The meeting continues, even if one of us are not available (Agree on your minimum quorum)
- Our quarterly and annual sessions are always away from the office
Setting and sticking to these rules and this cadence is crucial for implementing the strategy you have worked so hard to form.
