10 Tips to a Successful Retreat
1. Be clear on what you want your retreat to accomplish.
Specifically, answer these two questions--What has to happen to consider this corporate retreat a success? What specific issues or topics do you want to discuss?
2. Have the right people on your retreat team.
No more, no less. Remember, this is not a reward or a popularity contest. If you don't have the right players, your retreat will not be productive.
3. Decide whether you want to invite only your executives or include your managers and a few key people to be on your retreat team.
Consider the benefits of including managers and few high-contributing employees. If you choose to do so, invite employees with strong leadership skills who possess an in-depth knowledge of the issues at hand so they can participate--even for a portion of your retreat agenda.
4. Name your employee team. If you make the decision to invite just a few employees, give them a name, such as the "President's Advisory Team," or "Acme Leadership Council, or "Acme Future Leaders Council." It will demonstrate that you recognize their leadership ability and will make them feel important and appreciated.
5. Establish your objectives.
6. Set a tightly focused agenda. Select no more than three topics for discussion; consider that most urgent issues. If you try to cover too much, in too little time, you will not be satisfied with the end result.
7. Provide materials for review. Distribute copies of a great business book, or a magazine article on future trends in your industry, advertising and marketing techniques, sales strategies, employee motivation, or any topic related to your most urgent needs.
8. Bring information. Before the management retreat, ask your team to gather new information or "intelligence" about your business and your competitors.
9. Keep it quiet.
Keep in mind that the Encarta World English dictionary defines a retreat as…
a period of quiet rest and contemplation in a secluded place. Or… a period away from normal activities, devoted to contemplation
10. Keep it simple and inexpensive if budget is a concern. Money is not the key component in a successful retreat. Some highly productive retreats have even been held in an executive's backyard or at a quiet restaurant with a meeting room.
