About the Summary

Nearly half of 1:1s (one-on-ones) are rated as suboptimal by team members. Compounding the problem, leaders’ self-ratings of their skills in conducting 1:1s appear to be inflated, suggesting that leaders think they are doing a better job at leading 1:1s than they actually are. The book, Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings deeply explores the “whats,” “hows,” and “whys” of 1:1s by highlighting challenges, pain points, opportunities, and areas for customization. The purpose of this book is to provide guidance on how to balance the scales between structure and flexibility, addressing short and long term topics, solving problems and building relationships.

In this Executive Book Summary®:

  • The importance of 1:1 meetings between managers and direct reports.
  • Ways to conduct effective 1:1 meetings via planning, frequency, agendas, and listening.
  • The benefits of 1:1 meetings that can lead to improved employee performance and development.
  • Additional tips about skip-level meetings and how to deal with meeting overload.
