The Importance of One-on-One Meetings

One-on-one meetings are a crucial aspect of leadership, providing an opportunity for managers to connect with their direct reports on a deeper level. These meetings serve two main purposes: to meet the practical and tactical needs of the direct report, and to address their personal needs, such as feeling seen, respected, and included. The goal of the manager is to create an environment where the direct report feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and challenges, while the manager actively listens and supports them. Regular, predictable one-on-one meetings are essential for employee engagement and overall team success.
