One-to-One Meetings: Your Most Effective Leadership Tool
What one-to-ones are and how to implement them
Talking to your team regularly is the most productive way to develop a high performing, effective, and engaged team.
Who am I to make such a bold statement?
I am a Learning & Development/Organisational Development professional, I have led many teams myself, and I have managed the implementation of leadership programs.
On a personal note, I have been in the workforce for nearly forty years, and I have had some excellent leaders and some truly horrible ones.
The best leaders were the ones who met with me every week and genuinely cared about me as a person. It felt good to report to a leader like that.
“High-performance managers are involved in their employees’ work lives. They don’t subscribe to a laissez faire approach to management, and they don’t ignore their employees.” — Gallup
According to Gallup, when employees strongly agree that their managers know what projects they are working on, they are seven times more likely to be engaged, rather than disengaged.
