Conducting Productive One-on-Ones
|
Hey there! One-on-one meetings are the leader's primary tool for establishing relationships and building trust with their teams. These meetings serve multiple purposes: providing feedback, discussing career development, addressing issues, setting goals and priorities, and offering support. Overall, the primary goal of one-on-ones is to ensure clear, consistent, and personalized communication, which can lead to better performance, higher engagement, and stronger working relationships. If you want to explore the topic further, please visit my dedicated One-on-one Meetings page. There, I share my insights on how to conduct those meetings, initiate new relationships, topics to discuss, and more. I regularly update this page with new insights based on my practical experience, so don't forget to bookmark it if you find it helpful!" Great one-on-ones for you!
If you need my support, just reply to this email! Alternatively, I'm also available in The Mentoring Club to help you through mentoring on leadership and management, software engineering management, agile and lean processes, team and project management, and career advice. |

In a recent blog post, I explored the expectations for this skill and introduced a structured approach to support personal development and career progression. This approach can be instrumental in navigating career ladders, offering a clear...
Hey there! It's been a while since my last post. Recently, I've been through a long performance and promotion cycle at VTEX. During this process, it is always challenging for Engineering Managers to assess their teams and build consistent cases for performance evaluations and promotions. To help managers thrive during committees, I built a set of artifacts designed to help them evaluate and position their teams within the career ladder. While there are particularities specific to VTEX's...
