What should we really use our manager 1-on-1s for?
Recently I came across this question in a thread. Many of us might be lucky enough to have managers who have blocked a 30 min meeting on a weekly basis. But many times maybe there is nothing to talk about.
Here is some advice that I found that many people resonated with
-
Use this time to build a personal and meaningful relationship, get to know them and tell them about yourself
-
Work related status updates can be given via email or other tools, so focus on more candid things - Start sending a weekly email instead and free up that time
-
Tell them what worries you so they can unblock it for you and find out what worries them, if you can take anything off their plate, do it.
-
Convince them that you can tolerate constructive feedback, and get their true opinions
How do your 1-on-1 meetings usually go? What are your tips to leverage them effectively?
