"All the time you're taking with these regularly scheduled one-on-one meetings pays itself back with higher morale, more engaged employees, better relationships, and more trust. So, a few in-depth conversations a week doesn't seem like too much time to me."

Running one-on-one meetings, without being hyperbolic, is probably the most important practice that a manager can take on. Don't believe us? Tune into Ethan and Mike's conversation and they'll try to change your mind. In this episode, the boys discuss why running regularly scheduled one-on-one meetings with your employees is vital to your team's success. Additionally, they get into the weeds about what questions you should (and shouldn't) ask and how to ask them, how to keep a task-relationship balance in these meetings, why relationship building is different from friendship building, how to prepare for these meetings, how to make these meetings work if you have a ton of employees, and more nitty-gritties.

If you'd like a free e-book of great one-on-one questions to ask your employees, shoot us an email at [email protected] and we'll send you one.
