- Hey, it's Pete Moriarty here in this video,
I wanna literally take you behind the scenes
of what it looks like inside an internal meeting
in itGenius.
This is our T4 meeting, which we do once a month.
And inside this meeting,
we actually give the whole company an update
on everything that's happening.
But the most important thing is shout outs.
And I'm gonna tell you why they're so important.
And literally how we do them
and I'm gonna show you some actual examples
of shout outs that we do inside our actual T4 meetings.
(upbeat music)
Now, I've been running a small business for over 12 years,
and we've scaled from a very small organization,
to now a team of over 40 people, which is pretty crazy.
And through our growth roadmap,
we help small business owners
get connected their teams,
get connected to their technology,
and make informed decisions
about how to grow and scale your business,
and how to become a technology led business.
And so what we're looking to do
is help small businesses with their technology,
help you with a little bit of your leadership as well
and helping you grow and scale great teams.
Now, most of the stuff we talked about is tech.
But we also find ourselves talking about
a little bit of the kinda human side of business as well,
that would include things like culture,
things like making sure you've got productive teams,
and using technology tools to connect.
Now one of the most important things to do
when people are working remotely,
is to make sure that your team
is still feel like they're a team.
And when everyone's gone to remote work
due to COVID and changes in the economy.
Well you can lose some of that magic
of being in the same physical place
as each one of your team members.
And so we combat this
through our process of getting our team together
on our T4 meeting.
Now we've got more in depth videos
on T4 inside our Genius Academy,
now which is exclusive for our concierge members.
If you're interested in that, check out the link below
to check out our concierge membership.
But I wanna tell you a little bit
about something in particular called the shout outs.
Now this is the part of the meeting
where we take a value of our company values
and we'll put those up on the screen now.
And we take one of those values
and actually shout out another team member.
Now you're not allowed to shout out someone on your team,
it has to be someone who's not on your team.
And so this really promotes cross team collaboration
and the team really thanking each other
for what they're doing.
Now, the reason this is so powerful
is it really empowers everyone on your team
to live the values of your company.
And these are not just company values
that the executive team gets to decide on.
These are company values that everyone decides
that they want to have as a part of the business.
Now, there's other videos and resources
on how to define your company values
and how to get them ingrained in a team.
I'm specifically talking about how to shout out your members
in what we call Genius of the Week.
So I'm gonna share a couple of examples with you.
So you get an idea of just how we shout out a team members,
and how we use our values to share a team member
and highlight a team member that has been an example
of that highlight value on any one particular week.
- Once we get nominate teammates,
I just want to acknowledge and say thank you to Dal.
She's the silent worker,
she has brought down the turnaround time
to less than two months.
So I would really would like to acknowledge her hard work
for her service plus one,
- My nomination goes to Mary.
Just know, Mary, that the challenges that you have right now
will be the legacy that you will leave itGenius.
You've been trained well, by Aisa,
you are laying the groundwork and the foundation
of what support is going to be in itGenius.
Yeah, good job, Mary,
you're doing a great job with your team.
- So you've seen a few of our team members,
shout out there team members as well.
I wanna invite you to do the same,
define with your team, what your company values are.
And then the next time you have an all hands meeting,
and you bring everyone together,
give your team an opportunity to do some shout outs.
Now if you're interested in our full rundown,
the full agenda of our T4 meeting
exactly how we hold these meetings,
and how we've grown and scaled the business
from literally just a couple of people
to a global team now over 40 employees,
