Are 1:1s really necessary?
So many managers feel unsure about 1:1s. Perhaps you do too.
With an already packed schedule, you're hesitant to add more meetings to your calendar, and you wonder if 1:1s are truly necessary when you already talk to your employees every day.
I get it. That's exactly how I felt when I first became a manager. The thought of preparing for and leading 1:1s with each of my 20 direct reports overwhelmed me.
But the truth is, my 1:1s quickly became the most important tool in my management toolkit. They were the key to my team's success, and my own success too.
Here's the secret: instead of pouring extra work into 1:1s, make your 1:1s work for you.
I'll teach you how in this video and with my new and improved 1:1 Cheat Sheet, where I share everything I wish I would have known about 1:1s when starting my management journey.
BONUS ALERT: This updated cheat sheet includes a new 1:1 template, making it easier than ever to plan for and facilitate effective 1:1s. The best part? The employee completes the form and runs the meeting, not the manager.
