Starting team meetings with a check-in &/or having regular team check-ins is such an important part of leadership practice. Check-ins prime the behaviours that make collaboration possible. Here's a website with some great check-in resources: https://t.co/OfADAtcfwZ & a framework for an end of week check-in, if you wanted to start tomorrow. Graphic: @heyamberrae via @TCI_ca
