Ask The Consultant: How To Have One-To-One Meetings That Matter To Your IT Solutions Provider Team

Q: How can I have one-to-one meetings that matter to me and to my direct reports?

A: Yogi Berra famously said, “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” 

In business, we often talk about mission, vision, and values to our teams and the importance of ongoing discussions and communications around those major themes. 

Most of us should spend time focused on improving the frequency and quality of our communication, and I believe there is a simple tool that is hugely impactful in helping our teams maintain progress along the right path. 

As leaders, we often overlook or ignore the power of one-on-one meetings which means we are missing one of the biggest opportunities to build into our teams.

I find it easy to talk myself out of having one-on-one meetings with my team members. After all, they take a lot of time, the conversations can be awkward, and I always wonder if there was any value to what we talked about.
