The article is a bit overly prescriptive. "These are the three kinds of conversations you will encounter, and here is how you should respond." Human interaction is not that easily codified.
The book Behind Closed Doors superbly describes approaches to conducting weekly one-on-one meetings, in addition to IT management in general.
Oh, and "1:1" is a ratio.
- j_baker 16y agoIn any one on one, there is a 1:1 ratio of managers to managees.
- bluesnowmonkey 16y agoTwo-on-two is also a 1:1 ratio. Really, you get 3 points for that, and I get -2 points for a valid criticism and a book mention? People don't like dead trees? If you care about being a better manager, get the book -- it's a much better treatment of the subject. Actually I think ol' Rands here ripped off a lot. See page 12.
