These meetings are short; 15 \u2013 20 minutes, with the intent that each leader provide &#8220;headline news&#8221; about their organization. If a colleague requires additional details about a topic, side meetings are to be scheduled only for those impacted. If a leader has nothing to share, they simply &#8220;pass&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Getting started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set the frequency, rules and intent for the huddle and who should attend<\/li>\n<li>Think of speaking in terms of &#8220;bullet points&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>No one should speak longer than 1 minute (this is a variable you can change)<\/li>\n<li>Encourage others to meet outside of the huddle if a deeper dive is needed \u2013 the facilitator should have no problem saying &#8220;<em>please take it offline<\/em><\/li>\n<li>If meeting in person, one recommendation is to stand, which helps keep the meeting short<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Huddles are a great way to keep one another &#8220;in the know&#8221; and improve awareness of what is happening outside of one&#8217;s own team\/organization.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also an opportunity to support one another when needed resources or expertise can be shared to benefit other teams or organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Do you hold huddle meetings?
