Metronomics Monthly Meeting Template

Metronomics 180 min Monthly Leadership team (5-12 people)

The Metronomics monthly meeting is the step back the weekly rhythm cannot provide. Based on the Metronomics system by Shannon Susko, it gives the leadership team a longer block to read monthly trends, develop people, and work a strategic stuck that needs more room than a weekly meeting allows.

When to use it

Run it once a month, ideally early in the month once the prior month is closed. It bridges the weekly adjust meetings and the quarterly planning session, keeping the team learning and realigning between the fast weekly beat and the bigger quarterly reset.

Who attends

The leadership team, five to twelve people who own functions and priorities. Because part of the meeting is team development, this is also where leaders grow together, so protect the learning block from being crowded out by operational fires.

How to run it

Open by reconnecting and recapping the month, then study trends rather than isolated weeks so direction is clear. Check quarterly priorities at the halfway or month mark and adjust where needed. Spend real time on team development, since the monthly meeting is one of the few places that investment fits. Then take one strategic stuck and work it fully to a decision. Close by confirming commitments, cascading messages, and rating the meeting so the rhythm keeps improving.

Facilitator tips

  • Look at trends across weeks, not a single week in isolation.
  • Protect the team development block from operational creep.
  • Use the longer format to fully resolve one strategic stuck.
  • Confirm what cascades so the wider team stays aligned.

Common mistakes

  • Turning the monthly meeting into a longer version of the weekly one.
  • Skipping team development whenever the month feels busy.
  • Reviewing the month with no decisions or course corrections.
  • Leaving without confirming what cascades to the broader team.

Give your team the monthly step back that keeps the quarter on track. Run it in OrgTP and keep monthly trends, priorities, and decisions connected.
