How to Conduct Effective One-On-Ones
Conducting effective one-on-ones can be one of your most highly effective leadership tools. Most managers have not been taught how to conduct an effective and meaningful one-on-one. That means that most managers and most employees “wing it” which can be demoralizing not only to the front-line employees but to all employees in a company. In this session, we will introduce more effective one-on-one tools and use role playing to practice a new skill.
