Our Integrator does nearly all of the talking during the scorecard and rock review portions of our Level 10 Meeting, turning our weekly operational pulse into a top-down presentation rather than an accountability check. How do we restore shared accountability during the reporting sections?
When your Integrator dominates the scorecard and rock review sections of your Level 10 Meeting, they transform a dynamic accountability pulse into a passive, top-down presentation. This behavior kills team engagement, fosters a culture of dependence, and prevents department heads from taking true ownership of their numbers and commitments. To correct this, the Integrator must step back and act strictly as the facilitator of the meeting, not the presenter. During the scorecard and rock review segments, each leadership team member must report on their own metrics and Rocks. The person who owns the seat must state whether their number is on track or off track, and whether their Rock is on track or off track. The Integrator's role is to keep the clock moving, not to comment on or analyze the data. If a scorecard metric is red, the owner of that metric simply says, off track, and the facilitator asks if it needs to go on the Issues List. If yes, it is dropped to the bottom of the list without discussion, and the meeting moves on immediately. This shifts the burden of accountability back to the individual leaders. They must arrive at the meeting fully prepared to own their performance in front of their peers. By returning the meeting to a fast-paced, peer-to-peer reporting tool, you free up valuable time for IDS and rebuild the collective ownership necessary to run a highly disciplined organization.
