Leadership Agenda Template

Leadership Planning Agenda and Action Plans

As leaders, you gain valuable insight into the performance and culture of your organization from employees’ feedback during the review process. Whether your organization is on a quarterly, semi-annual or other review frequency, it is critical to process all you learn.

Leadership Planning meetings don’t have to overwhelming. The goal is to process the feedback, capture take aways, and take action as needed to continue to move your organization forward.

In order to host an effective meeting at the end of every cycle, we have created an agenda template.

Copy and paste this into the Agenda section of your meeting. You can then edit the agenda items to make it your own.

Weekly Touchpoint Tips

Meeting weekly for 10 – 15 minutes provides both managers and employees the chance to ensure they are aligned.

We recommend weekly touchpoint meetings with each employee. Make the most of the meeting by focusing on three simple things:

  1. Accomplishments
  2. Priorities
  3. How can I help?
