1:1s are a powerful way to support your team, offer feedback and context, and build a healthy environment full of thriving people.
When they work well, 1:1s are a place of trust, reflection, and growth. When they don’t, they undermine the rapport between you and your report, fail to accomplish anything, or are reduced to status updates.
No matter how long you’ve been managing teams, don’t forget these foundational elements of a 1:1:
