The top team meeting priority is to achieve and improve results. Think about the big picture. Present issues as questions. Instead of “Let’s talk about labor always being over budget,” approach with, “What can we do to improve our schedules and regularly complete our crew labor hours on-budget?

• Visualize looking in at your problems from the outside. Assess situations as if you had the opportunity to completely start over. What could be done differently for a better outcome?

• Invite an outside consultant to comment or offer insight on the situation. What would someone without an agenda or affiliation say about your issues?

• There are no bad ideas. Everyone on the team is equal and has the right to provide input whether they end up being viable ideas or not.

• Never criticize anyone’s suggestions or decisions. Keep the forum open.
