These ready-written materials for a bite size training session on running effective 1-1s has been designed to help managers (who are often promoted due to their technical skill) have meaningful, informal conversations with their team members.
Having effective 1-1s is a vital but often overlooked form of every-day people management. Having good conversations can increase motivation and engagement, build trust and (perhaps most importantly) prevent small issues from growing and becoming big problems that may lead to disciplinary or grievance procedures.
Helping managers to do simple things, regularly and well, can benefit everyone.
In particular, by the end of the Power Hour delegates will be able to:
- Describe what effective 1-1s are, and how they benefit individuals, managers, and the organization.
- Follow a simple, flexible structure to keep 1-1s focused and purposeful.
- Apply core skills that make 1-1 conversations genuinely useful.
To get a taste of the content, you can download our FREE Key Points Sheet and a pdf version of Selected Slides - though the majority of the detail is in the Session Leader's Guide and Delegate Workbook when you buy the training materials.
