One-on-One is one of the most effective leadership tools a manager can use. It allows the manager to build trust by listen, support and get to know the reportee.
Individual manager/employees-meetings that occur regularly once a week for 30 minutes also correlates with the highest level of engagement, Steven G. Rogelbergs research shows.

Managergers who don’t prioritise 1:1 meetings, or do them poorly, risk leaving their team members disconnected, both emotionally and functionally.

Those managers who embrace these conversations and see it as a fundamental part of their role, will on the other hand build trust and psychological safety.
