Based on data from 2,000+ people, I wrote a guide to one-on-one meetings for managers and employees — and it’s finally live! 🙂
Dear manager or employee who cares about their team’s success,
You hold one-on-one meetings. But are they working?
Over the past four years, I noticed how almost every person I talked to did not know the answer to that question. They held one-on-ones — but felt in the dark if their one-on-ones could be run better (or, if they were working at all).
So I surveyed hundreds of managers and employees. I spoke and wrote to hundreds of Know Your Team customers and Watercooler members. And from the data, insights, and conversations, I put together two guides: One for managers, one for employees.
In these guides, you’ll learn…
- The purpose of one-on-one meetings: What’s the point?
- How long, how often, and with who to hold one-on-ones with
- How to prepare for a one-on-one meeting
- The best 8 questions to ask during a one-on-one
- What to put on your one-on-one meeting agenda (with 4 agenda templates)
- How to get honest insights from your one-on-one
- Best practices for writing notes during a one-on-one meeting
