I would argue that they are not for only you (the manager) but for your team. Biases could trick you into a false sense of security here. Of course it all depends on the team and environment. My toolbox is not yet as robust. 1-1's are a vital part of keeping a pulse on my team and staying connected.

- ashtonkem 6y agoFor sure. I’m just pushing back against the unsaid but extremely common belief that managers do these things for their own sake. I do them because they’re good for the team and good for the directs, albeit in different ways.
- SaltyBackendGuy 6y ago> I don’t do 1-1s for my sake I think I miss-interpreted this statement. I took it as you saying you don't do them at all. Sorry! > pushing back against the unsaid but extremely common belief that managers do these things for their own sake Totally agree!
- ashtonkem 6y agoAh, yeah I could’ve worded that more clearly.
