the one on one meeting agenda
TRANSCRIPT
One-on-ones are
unsexy routine but it’s
the routine of your
management practice
that produces
results.
1. The employee’s agenda
2. The manager’s agenda
3. Deliverables for the week ahead
4. Growth
Agenda
Remember as the
boss, you can get
ahold of your
employee at any
time, but your
employee doesn’t
have the same rights
even if you operate
an open door policy
Because having time
for a personal catch-up
right at the beginning is
what builds your
knowledge and
connection with
the employee
But obviously it’s not
just about chat – this
is their time to give
you
status updates, keep you informed
and ask you
questions
A mistake that
managers make is that
they butt in. This
makes the employee
feel unheard and
destroys your
relationship

It’s simple: if someone is on the
right path, keep them there and if someone is losing their way, guide
them back
P.S Don’t forget the
essential Dr Gottman
ration of 5 times as much positive
communication to
negative communication
Every relationship
needs maintenance
and it’s good to have a
space to talk about
pinch points and ways
of working
And so without
communication they
concentrate on
work that is
unimportant to you while neglecting work that
you desperately want.
Growth is essential
to staying viable
but did you also
know that growth
is a fantastic
double-edged
motivational
tool?
Growth includes the
larger macro view of the
employee’s career
progression and on a
lower level it also
includes improving the
skills your employees
use every day
Because successful
bosses are constantly
coaching their
employees to get better
at their jobs and learn
new skills
Because delegation
isn’t just a chance for
you the boss to
leverage the time,
skills and abilities of
your employees to
get stuff done and reduce your
workload…
And successful bosses
know how to delegate
effectively to get
better results than they
could’ve done themselves

Taking a quick look at
the form you can see
that there are sections
to keep track of your
employee’s personal
situation…
And there’s a section
for what their DISC
behavior model says about how to
best manage them
and communicate
with them

Don’t worry if this
sounds technical –
it’s just a fancy name
for what most of us
would call a
personality test
Meeting every week is
essential to keep
forward
momentum plus keeping
communications
channels open and
efficient
Miss a meeting and you’ll find that you
will spend just as much
time, if not more, in
interruptions and
inefficient
communications
