We are scaling rapidly and our leadership team members claim they are traveling too much or are too busy with major client fires to attend the weekly Level 10 Meeting, leading to constant absences. How do we maintain the strict rule of same day, same time, same agenda when business growth is pulling everyone in different directions?

When scaling, your meeting pulse is your anchor, not an optional luxury. If your leadership team believes they are too busy to attend the weekly Level 10 Meeting™, they are letting the business run them instead of them running the business. Allowing team members to skip the weekly pulse because of client fires is a sign of weak operational discipline and poor delegation.

You must treat the Level 10 Meeting™ as sacred. It must happen at the same day, same time, every single week, with the same agenda. If a leader is traveling, they must call in. If they are in a different time zone, they must adjust their schedule to attend. The only acceptable reasons for missing a weekly pulse are planned vacations or true personal emergencies.

If a leader is constantly pulled into daily client fires, it means they are trapped in the wrong seat or have not delegated accountability to their team. Use the meeting pulse to solve this structural issue. Drop their over-commitment to the Issues List and use IDS® to figure out how to build delegation or systems to free them up. Protecting the weekly meeting pulse is non-negotiable if you want to build a transferable, well-run business that can prepare for a clean exit.
