Mastering Execution Between Level 10 Meetings

← All posts

Level 10 meetings are a cornerstone of the EOS framework. They help keep teams aligned, focused, and accountable. But here’s the catch: what happens between those meetings is just as important, if not more so.

Understanding the Gap

Level 10 meetings are scheduled regularly—weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. While these meetings can be productive, they are not the sole factor in your team's effectiveness. The time between meetings is crucial for executing your Rocks, managing Scorecards, and maintaining the health of your Accountability Chart.

Rocks: Get Them Done

Your Rocks are the key priorities for the quarter. But without consistent follow-through, they can easily slide to the back burner.

• Break down each Rock into smaller tasks.
• Assign responsibilities clearly.
• Set deadlines for each task.

Make sure the team knows who is responsible for what. Use tools or systems that help track progress. This is where an AI office manager like Tawny can help keep everyone honest by providing reminders and status updates.

Scorecards: Keep It Honest

Your Scorecard is not just a set of numbers. It’s a reflection of your company’s health. If the Scorecard isn’t kept up-to-date between meetings, you risk misalignment and confusion.

• Regularly review the metrics that matter.
• Address any issues immediately.
• Encourage accountability among team members.

If someone is responsible for a metric, they should be checking it weekly. This is not a “set it and forget it” scenario. Make it part of the culture.

Accountability Chart: Know Your Seats

Your Accountability Chart defines who is responsible for what. But just like Rocks and Scorecards, this chart requires ongoing attention.

• Check in with team members on their responsibilities.
• Ensure everyone knows their role and how it contributes to company goals.
• Adjust as necessary when team dynamics change.

When team members are clear about their roles, it fosters accountability and minimizes confusion.

Follow-Up: Make It Happen

One of the most common pitfalls is a lack of follow-up. Ideas and tasks can easily slip through the cracks if not addressed promptly.

• Schedule regular check-ins.
• Utilize project management tools for transparency.
• Make follow-up a non-negotiable part of your culture.

When follow-up becomes a reflex rather than a chore, your team will stay engaged and aligned.

In Summary

The effectiveness of your Level 10 meetings is largely determined by what happens in between. By focusing on execution, accountability, and consistent follow-up, your team can efficiently drive towards its goals.

Whether it’s breaking down Rocks, maintaining your Scorecard, clarifying roles, or ensuring regular follow-up, these tasks are not to be taken lightly. An AI assistant like Tawny can help streamline this process, but it's still up to you and your team to make the system work.
