A client asked, “What do I talk about in 1:1s”?
Great question. Many Engineering Leaders miss the opportunity to reap the benefits of holding productive 1:1s.
This typically happens for two reasons. 1. Unsure about what to talk about, like my client. 2. Unaware of the “why” of 1:1s.
The why can be elusive because it’s personal to each leader. Here are some questions to support you in sussing out your why.
