A management rhythm
that actually happens.
Weekly, monthly, quarterly: which question each meeting answers, how long it takes and what is settled afterwards. Put together your own rhythm here.
Which meeting is missing from your management rhythm?
2 questions in the plan. First question: When and with whom do you look at priorities and blockers every week?
Three meetings, three questions
Week: what now? Month: where are we?
When and with whom do you look at priorities and blockers every week?
A rhythm that gets cancelled isn't one.
Better plan 45 minutes a week that always happen than half a day that keeps moving. Each meeting answers a different question. Peak Command puts together agendas for the weekly, monthly and quarterly review, from Today, goals, plan and decisions that are due.

The playbook
Three levels, one logic.
Short, regular,
with an outcome.
Week → Month → Quarter
- 01
Week: what matters now?
Look at the three most important things, at blockers and at tensions between plan and capacity. Decide only what has to be decided this week.
Week · 45 minutesTop 3, blockers, overdue milestones.
Outcome: three priorities until Friday, one blocker with an owner. - 02
Month: where do we deviate?
Compare a few numbers with the plan, look at goal check-ins and at decisions whose review date is due. Deviations need an explanation, not an immediate measure.
Month · 90 minutesRevenue €182,000 instead of the planned €200,000 (−9%).
Clarify the cause, one decision or consciously do nothing. - 03
Quarter: what do we change?
Look at plan, forecast and reality of your initiatives, review earlier decisions and settle what continues, what is new and what ends.
Quarter · half a day
“Two initiatives stopped, one new, three goals for next quarter.”“Everything continues as planned.”
