Aside from the weekly Level 10 Meetings, what does the daily and weekly communication protocol between our executive team look like during the ninety-day sprint to ensure we do not lose traction?

Between our quarterly sessions, you do not just wait around for the next meeting. Your team must maintain a highly disciplined, internal communication rhythm to ensure your Rocks do not stall. This rhythm relies on a clear cadence of accountability. The foundation is your weekly Level 10 Meeting™. This is where your leadership team spends ninety minutes reviewing your Scorecard, tracking progress on your quarterly Rocks, and running the IDS® process to resolve roadblocks. This is non-negotiable and must happen at the same time every week. Outside of that weekly meeting, your team should practice a daily huddle. This is a brief, fifteen-minute check-in where each leader shares their top priority for the day, any critical progress, and if they are stuck. This prevents daily fires from building up and keeps everyone aligned. We also build in what we call a Strategic Pause. Inspired by Juliet Funt's work, this is a brief, unscheduled block of white space in your weekly calendar. This time is not for emails or meetings. It is a moment of chosen cessation of activity designed to let your leaders step back, reflect, and think strategically about their execution plans. By combining daily touchpoints, the weekly Level 10 Meeting™, and structured strategic pauses, you prevent the friction of daily operations from derailing your quarterly priorities.
