Daily Leader Tip: 6 quick tips for better 1 to 1s

Are your 1 to 1s with your direct reports productive?

Mine weren't until I began adopting these 6 disciplines.

Try these 6 things 👇🚀

📋 Agenda - ask your colleague to bring the agenda, it’s not your 1 to 1 it’s their 1 to 1.

👂 Listen - 80% Listen, 20% speak.

❓ Question - Ask high-quality and open-ended questions - use GROW Model.

A useful resource to help you with better questions: The Coaching Habit

❔ And - don’t stop at one answer, stretch them to think more - “And what else?”

👷 Build - foster meaningful relationships where you come to solutions together

🧹 Remove - clear the blockers which are slowing them down and preventing them from being successful
