Run an executive question and answer (AMA) session

What’s it handy for?

Build a space for employees to ask questions freely of executive staff, who can read the channel and answer questions as they come in.

An executive AMA is a great way to:

• Hold office hours
• Appear in regular live Q&A sessions
• Create an open-door policy
• Remain accessible to employees, even in larger companies

How to run an executive AMA in Slack:

1. Create a new channel called #exec-ama.
   
2. Announce it in channels with your largest membership and encourage everyone to join.
   
3. Post a policy document to help guide employees in formatting their questions, and pin it to the channel.
   
4. Set a helpful tone with timely and thoughtful answers from your executives.
   
5. Bring a bit more clarity and transparency to your entire team.
