Manager meetings play a pivotal role within organizational structures for several reasons. Primarily, they serve as a platform for disseminating pertinent updates, aligning objectives, and ensuring uniformity of vision among managerial personnel. These gatherings afford an opportunity to discuss strategic goals, address operational challenges, and anticipate forthcoming changes in the organisational landscape. Moreover, they foster a collaborative environment wherein managers can share insights, offer perspectives, and collectively devise solutions to complex issues. By promoting open dialogue and transparency, these meetings cultivate trust and cohesion among managerial ranks, thereby fortifying the organisational framework. Additionally, they establish a framework for accountability, wherein managers hold each other responsible for the attainment of shared objectives and adherence to prescribed standards. Thus, manager meetings represent an indispensable forum for nurturing alignment, fostering collaboration, and driving organisational effectiveness.

Two Must Follow Rules of the WIG Session
Should be held on the same day and time every week. Consistency is critical to establish sustain rhythm of performance.
The other “whirlwind news” is never allowed into a WIG session no matter how urgent it may seem.
The Agenda of the Meeting
The meeting should be a Three-part agenda for a WIG Session:
1. Account. Report on Commitments and hold each other accountable: “I committed on spending 4 hours this week on prospecting and here is what happened..." We must ALL make a solid effort to the team that we will hold each other accountable for of actions that will move the lead measures. If a Lead measure (also known as a commitment) is not completed, we need to recognise this and understand why this was not completed to ensure it does not happen again and to complete it before the next meeting, “Did we do what we committed to each other to do”?
2. Review the Scoreboard: Learn from Successes and failures.
3. Plan: Clear the path and make new commitments.
Benefits of a WIG Session are:
Team decision making.
Helping one another
Ensures alignment in knowing what the priority is
Engages in problem solving
