Weekly 1:1s help me catch personnel issues that, left unattended, would lead to disaffection and attrition.
1:1 is about helping direct reports reach their professional goals when times are good (it's a great time to literally ask what they want), and provide an emotional outlet when things are bad.
It helps me find assholes in my organization who need to be fired to maintain the company's health.
- twobitshifter 5y agoIf you’re actually firing problematic people then bravo. I’ve seen managers treat 1:1 as a venting tool and never act to actually change the problem. In those cases the 1:1 is actually fuel to the fire.
