It’s all about the relationship

Want a quick way to build trust with your direct reports?

Don’t cancel their one-on-ones.

For your direct reports, the one-on-one is likely one of the few times a week they get to focus entirely on their needs. 

As a leader, regular one-on-ones are essential for effective communication, goal-setting, and problem-solving.

Your goal with one-on-ones is to develop a trusting relationship.

You can’t do that if you don’t meet.
