One-on-one meetings between leaders and their direct reports should encompass the needs of the employee, along with those of the team and the organization. Nevertheless, the employee's needs are frequently overlooked.

Summary

KEY POINTS:
  • These meetings should be a critical source of growth and support for the employee—not just the broader organization.
  • It’s up to the employee to ask questions that get the attention, or answers, they need.
  • Employees can use these meetings to discuss the need for additional resources, input, or support.
