Stop Wasting Your One to Ones

Your one to ones might be the most wasted half hour in your week and you may not even realise it. Most owners sit down with their key people, spend forty minutes firefighting this week's problems, and call it a one to one. It isn't. In this episode I explain why the day to day always crowds out the conversation that actually matters, and how to reset your one to ones so they do the one job they're for: developing your people and getting them to step up. In this episode: • Why talking about customers, suppliers and day to day issues means you're NOT having a one to one • The real purpose of a one to one: feedback, development and understanding how your people are really doing • How to reset your one to ones and put simple preparation in place so every conversation counts If you want a practical video every couple of weeks on building a business that runs on strong people not just on you subscribe.
