What Should Company Retreats Be Used for
at 1:14:37
Answer
Both James and Hiten agree that company retreats should not be used for strategy meetings. Rather, it’s a company crutch that’s used to get people together. Hiten points out that if you’re a remote company, it’s questionable to why a retreat, which requires having to be in the same place, should be used to get something that’s critical for the organization done.
