Make the Most of One-on-One Meetings
Individual Meetings Can Help a Team Thrive
While it may seem counterintuitive, an initiative to strengthen your team should start with an assessment of your one-on-one meetings. How often do you meet individually with your direct reports? What do you talk about? Who talks more? When these meetings are done well, they can make a team's day-to-day activities more efficient and effective; they can also help to build trust and psychological safety within the team. Managers who don't hold one-on-one meetings frequently enough, or who manage them poorly, risk leaving team members disconnected, both functionally and emotionally. In this article, the author provides helpful research-based tips for ensuring effective one-on-one meetings.
