Teamwork is all the rage these days, yet if you’ve found the process less than productive as of late, it’s time for some tweaking.

Peter Economy offers five suggestions for improving the process at Inc. that will make the most of that meeting time, allowing more time to fulfill your company’s goals.

Lead by example.

To help your employees make good choices, you should make good choices yourself. In other words, model the kind of behavior you’d like to see in your workers. You can’t expect people to make good choices when you’re setting a bad example. But when you make good choices, you’ll set the bar high for your organization and people will follow.

Offer choices.

You’ll find that people develop their own approach to getting things done and will make many good decisions along the way. They won’t always get it right, but by giving them the opportunity to try, you’ll encourage them to make good decisions.
