👋Hi Product Hunt, Managers are at the heart of everything we do here at Soapbox. After all, people don’t leave companies, they leave managers. So, how can managers and employees alike build better working relationships? One-on-one meetings. 1:1s offer managers and their teams the opportunity to share feedback with one another, communicate frequently, and build trust. Although every one-on-one is (and should be) different, there are things that both individuals can do to get the most value out of this time. This guide covers everything managers and employees need to know when approaching one-on-one meetings, with insights from incredible managers like @katie_womers (VP, Engineering at Buffer), @jamescarr (Engineering Manager at Zapier), @rands (ex VP, Engineering at Slack) and many more. In this guide, you’ll learn about: 🧐 What one-on-one meetings are (and why you should have them) 👥 How managers and employees should approach one-on-ones 🙋🏻‍♀️ Who should own the meeting 🗣 How to balance your one-on-one conversations to ensure they’re valuable for both individuals 🚀 How to have an effective one-on-one ✅ An effective meeting checklist for employees and managers 📝 One-on-one meeting templates to spark meaningful conversations Have any questions or feedback? We’ll be here in the comments! 👇
