The key to being an effective manager is having a strong relationship with your staff, grounded in key tools of management like goal-setting and effective listening. That manager-staff relationship is built one interaction at a time. Do you need a weekly check-in with each member of your team? What should a weekly check-in look like, and how would it help ensure the best possible week ahead for your staff member? How do you give direct and useful feedback? How do you get the most out of each conversation?
In this session, we will cover goals of individual check-ins; why preparation matters; how to give effective feedback; and how to work toward equitable, inclusive, and supportive one-on-one interactions. With specific tools, methods, and templates, and lots of tips and ideas, you’ll leave this session confident and ready to engage your staff in meetings, check-ins, and other one-on-one conversations.
