One on One Meeting Format Ideas

The blog post outlines a structured 30-minute weekly one-on-one meeting format divided into three 10-minute segments: the first dedicated to the direct report's chosen topics, the second for the manager's agenda and information sharing, and the third focused on performance feedback and career development. The author emphasizes that the primary objective is to build a good work relationship with direct reports and recommends a consistent, reliable approach that prioritizes open communication and mutual understanding. This format provides a practical framework for managers seeking to improve the effectiveness and consistency of their 1-1 meetings.
