Most new managers run their 1:1s like a status meeting — a round of "what are you working on" that nobody needs and everybody dreads. So you cancel them, your team stops trusting the slot, and the one meeting that could've made managing easier becomes the one you skip. I'll walk you through building the 1:1 from scratch — the right cadence for each person, the three questions that turn a status update into a real conversation, how to make feedback a habit instead of an annual ambush, and the follow-through that makes any of it stick. Plus what to do when it goes sideways: the report who shows up with nothing, the one who's guarded, and the one who says they don't need to meet at all. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Productive 1:1s 01:34 Optimal 1:1 Meeting Cadence 03:54 Structuring a Trust-Building 1:1 06:16 The Power of Timely Feedback 08:38 Ensuring 1:1 Follow-Through 10:06 Troubleshooting 1:1 Challenges 12:34 Final Thoughts on 1:1 Success Feedback video mentioned -    • Stop Avoiding Hard Conversations (Here's t...   #newmanager #leadership #1on1meetings
