What is One-to-Ones?
A regular private meeting between a manager and a team member, for support, context and growth.
What you learn
Use one-to-ones for what has no other place, not status updates.
When it helps
support only arrives in a crisis, or manager and team member lack context.
Use it at work
- Meet on a fixed schedule, and protect the time.
- Let the other person set the first topic.
- Ask how they’re doing and what they want to grow.
- Keep status updates for written channels.
Your output
In your next one-to-one, let the other person set the first topic. Keep status for written updates.
Watch for
Filling one-to-ones with project status, or canceling them when busy.
