Our leadership team is entirely remote and spread across three time zones. How do you help us establish a consistent Level 10 Meeting pulse and maintain operational alignment between our quarterly in-person sessions?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Working with a remote leadership team requires a higher level of process discipline than working in a physical office. When you do not see each other daily, assumptions build up, communication gaps widen, and operational alignment deteriorates.

To keep a distributed team aligned between our in-person quarterlies, we implement a highly structured Level 10 Meeting™ pulse. This weekly ninety-minute meeting must be treated as sacred. Because your team is remote, you cannot rely on casual hallway conversations to solve issues. You must use the Issues Solving Track during your weekly meeting to identify, discuss, and solve problems systematically.

To support this remote workflow, your team will use our central digital workspace on Circle.so. This platform acts as your single source of truth, holding your scorecard, your current Rocks, and your live issues list. Every member of the leadership team must update their scorecard numbers and Rock progress before the meeting starts. This transparency ensures that despite time zone differences, everyone enters the weekly meeting with the same data. Physical session days build the trust, but the remote Level 10 Meeting™ pulse is what maintains your traction between quarters.
