    1. Office hours. They’re announced broadly every two weeks. Two hours total. 30-minute slots. Google Calendar makes this super easy.  The result: my office hours are filled every time I announce them by the folks who want to talk and have an agenda. These are some of the most interesting meetings that I have with the team on a week to week basis. Random thoughts. Emerging concerns. Criticism. Growth conversations. Deep strategic concerns. Communication that only happens 1:1 and in person on a regular basis.

      This gives me cause to experiment with different models for office hours. I've already tried the hour long model. It would be interesting to try the 30 minute model described here— four x 30 minute meetings, back to back, every two weeks. And to perhaps complement that with a round table meeting every now and then?
