1023.7 – Same Page Meeting – Owner’s Only

Results Statement: To assure continuous absolute core alignment of the Visionary and
Integrator Roles of the Owners at all time. The meeting will harness the
power of this unique combination. It also prevents the small gaps
between owners resulting in huge canyons to the rest of the
organization.

Primary Responsible Position: Owners

When: Monthly

Where: In-Person off-site from the organization’s own locations. In a
comfortable relaxed, un-rushed environment. Location should
stimulate an open conversation without pressures of time or other
commitments

Agenda:
1. Check-In:
a. How are you doing? State-of-Mind?
b. Personal and Business
2. Build Issues: Bring issues to the meeting
3. Plans and Solutions:
a. Identify (Dig deep, Pull string),
b. discuss (everything on the table but only once), and
c. Solve (for the greater good, full agreement, not consensus,
a wrong decision is better than no decision).
d. Make written action plans and programs.

What to Address:
 No End-Runs: When someone bypasses a manager by complaining not
to solve a problem, usually to the Visionary. At the end of a run of
complaining the question are always, “Are you going to tell ‘em or am I
going to tell ‘em? Because one of us needs to tell ‘em?”
 The Integrator is always the tie-breaker.
 Owners are employees when working IN the business
 Maintain mutual respect for other’s role: Trust and Openness is key.
There will be some friction between Visionary and Integrator. This is
the “charge” or “energy” that can be incredibly good. It’s a level of
confront, but with respect. If the friction goes on to long, it will build a
wall. It’s the owner’s job to constantly work to reduce this friction.
