How to Hold Effective 1:1s With Your Manager

Over the past 15+ years, I've learned that a huge component of success is effective and transparent corporate communication. In this document, I've attached my framework for developing an efficient supervisor communication strategy to drive the accountability and support required to reach your benchmarks.

The benefits of an efficient supervisor communication strategy are clear:

- Develops trust and respect between supervisors and employees

- Encourages and supports employees to do their best work

- Helps supervisors identify and correct issues early

If you're looking to improve your communication strategy with your boss or direct reports, this document is for you.

This 20-page guide includes three sections:

📈 In Helpful Tips for Manager 1:1s, you'll find my top tips for having the best 1:1 meetings including how to schedule them, how frequently to hold them, email templates to send to your manager, and more.

📈 In How to Create Your 1:1 Document, I've included a step-by-step guide for structuring these meetings to maximize time including goal reviews, weekly summaries, blockers, biggest wins, upcoming projects, and action items.
