Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Building Better Managers, produced by New Level Work, we explore one of the most underrated yet high-impact tools in a manager's toolkit: the one-on-one meeting. While many treat one-on-ones as routine check-ins or status updates, top-performing managers know they're so much more. When done right, one-on-ones are a strategic space to build trust, drive clarity, and accelerate development. We'll share practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real-world examples to help you turn your next one-on-one into a moment of meaningful connection and growth. Key Takeaways Why so many managers misuse or underuse one-on-ones The mindset shift from task-focused to person-focused Simple structures for high-impact conversations What great managers do to build trust, clarity, and accountability Mistakes to avoid (and what to do instead) Learn More For coaching programs, leadership training, or AI-enhanced tools to support your managers, visit newlevelwork.com Like what you hear?
