Metronomics Team Health Meeting Template

Metronomics 120 min Monthly Leadership team (5-10 people)

The Metronomics team health meeting works on the team itself, not just the numbers. Based on the Metronomics system by Shannon Susko, it treats team health as a core system alongside strategy and execution, giving leaders a dedicated space to build trust, surface tension, and strengthen how they work together.

When to use it

Run it monthly, or fold a focused version into your monthly meeting. Use a standalone session when trust is fraying, a new leader has joined, conflict is being avoided, or the team is heading into a hard stretch where alignment matters most.

Who attends

The leadership team, five to ten people who depend on each other to execute. This is a candid working session, so keep it to the actual team rather than a wider audience. Psychological safety drops fast when observers are in the room.

How to run it

Open with a real check-in so people connect as humans first. Take an honest pulse on trust, conflict, commitment, and accountability, then surface the tension that usually goes unspoken and work through it with healthy conflict. Turn the conversation into concrete changes to behaviors and norms, then run a feedback round so each person leaves with one strength and one growth area. Close by confirming commitments and how the team will hold each other accountable.

Facilitator tips

  • Create real safety so people raise the hard things.
  • Treat productive conflict as healthy, not something to smooth over.
  • Turn the conversation into concrete behavior changes.
  • Make feedback specific, balanced, and caring.

Common mistakes

  • Keeping it polite and surfacing none of the real tension.
  • Treating team health as soft and skipping it under pressure.
  • Talking about issues without committing to any change.
  • Giving vague feedback that no one can act on.

Invest in the team that has to execute the plan. Run it in OrgTP and keep team health commitments visible alongside your priorities.
