Town Hall Meetings
One person can not accomplish our 10X goals. It is going to take all of our employees buying into our goals. But we know that our employees can’t buy into what they don’t understand. So, we decided to organize 3 town hall meetings to share our vision with them.
Employees and leaders from multiple departments came together and shared what our vision is and gave examples how we are working right now towards achieving our goals. We asked them to dream big; to not be limited by what they think is possible but to believe that anything is possible. We challenged them to work towards our goals everyday.
