We also want to ensure, do we have a timekeeper? Is someone taking that role on? I often say, make sure that that person is giving us warnings when we're getting close, say, two minutes.
Uh, whether that is a visual reminder, a knock that we have as a, um, a verbal reminder that we're getting close, but then always being able to identify that as we move through, our timekeeper holds us accountable to this, and getting crystal clear that when we get to end time, we are end time, and we will determine, do we need to pick this up at another time and who needs to be at this table? Can it get pushed to the next time that we meet? Getting serious about honoring end times is so critical to ensuring momentum for a team.
