The article is proposing weekly meetings for up to 500 employees. If they need reminding that often, then I reckon you have a hiring problem.
Where I am now, there is a formal all-hands that takes most of a day once/year, plus all-hands at appropriate junctures (big client/important milestone stuff), and it seems to work well. There isn't the idea of this fortnightly or weekly meeting. I just can't fathom wasting that much time to talk about mission.
- tantalor 10y agoYou don't "talk about mission" in these meetings, you talk about things the company did that week/whatever which further the mission, such as a product launch, partnership, event, or major announcement.
- Bartweiss 10y agoMy experience has been that a monthly all-hands for 200 people is pretty good. More frequent meetings than that should be smaller, because the alternative is talking about group-specific stuff that's irrelevant to most people. Your company should subdivide as it grows, and the meeting/governance structure should acknowledge that fact. Weekly for 500 people sounds insane.
