The Power of Peer Groups (and How to Start One)

A peer group is a group of professionals who meet on a regular basis
to confidentially share their current issues and exchange insights
that will help each member excel. Their benefits have been proven by
successful leaders and workers for centuries. If you want to form a
peer group of your own, take the following steps: Recruit the right
members: Try to form a group of six to 10 people with diverse personal
and professional backgrounds. Make sure you each respect one another,
and are committed to meeting regularly throughout the year. Set
guidelines. Agree upon how often you’ll meet, who will organize the
agenda for your meetings, as well as who will moderate and keep time.
Agree on values. Confidentiality, candor, empathy, and balance are
required for your group to establish an inclusive and productive
culture. Check in to keep up the momentum. Every few months, ask
members for feedback to learn if the group dynamic is still beneficial
for each member.
