Regular 1:1 create the risk of micromanaging people and foster secrecy. It is good for developing people, but once they are developed what purpose do they have.
Maybe this is a culture thing (German here ... we fight in public ;)). My experience is: the layer where regular 1:1 starts, office politics is not far away ;)
- ensignavenger 4y agoSounds cultural maybe? In the US, 1 to 1's aren't about fighting, they are about developing, and there is an attitude here of never stopping developing, so there is no "once they are developed" phase.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y agoIt's definitely cultural but I think you are overstating things a bit. That is commonly how 1:1s are approached in the US but still many places will be different.
