Small businesses often make it a tradition to get everyone into one room to hold meetings, giving everyone a chance to offer feedback and insight. Everyone can discuss what they are currently doing and coordinate a plan for the future. This informality works great for smaller start-ups, but isn’t always feasible as businesses bring in more employees.
As businesses continue to grow, they often hold on to this tradition, resulting in a lack of space and time to accommodate everyone. Once your business reaches around 10 to 15 people, this informal format no longer works as effectively. It can be difficult to hold everyone’s interest through the discussion and allowing everyone to talk often takes too much time. If one person goes into too much detail about their current project, some people involved in the meeting won’t get a chance to talk at all.
