One-on-One Check-in Conversations

Description

One-on-one conversations between a manager and a team member are covered from preparation to follow-up. The lessons start with what makes these meetings effective, how to set up the right environment and expectations, and how to structure an agenda. You then work on active listening and on giving and receiving constructive feedback.

Later lessons cover goal setting and career development talks, handling difficult conversations and conflict, and building trust and psychological safety. The last lessons deal with following up and adapting one-on-ones for remote and hybrid teams. Templates, a checklist and exercises appear in many of the PDFs.

Who it is for: new and experienced managers who want regular one-on-ones that are useful for both sides.
