One-on-one meetings. Some people love them… some people could live without them. But, we have found in our organization that these meetings are key when the right model is followed. There is a right way and a wrong way to hold these regularly-scheduled discussions, so this week, we dive into six ways to hold an effective and productive one-on-one meeting.

We start with the biggest mistakes people make when holding meetings that affect both the employee and the leader. Hallie and I talk about how to prepare for the meeting so it maximizes everyone’s time and energy and what the benefits are for both the employee and leader for having scheduled meeting times. Hallie shares how the weekly meetings have helped her grow in her career, and how meetings may also bring both the employee and leader clarity on time management, personal growth, and future goals.
