One-on-One Coach-Managerial Meeting Enhancement

Example

Advising managers on crafting open-ended questions that prompt detailed responses, rather than simple yes/no answers.

Scenario

In a scenario where a manager needs to understand an employee's perspective on a new project assignment, One-on-One Coach might suggest asking, 'What are your initial thoughts on the project scope and how do you see your role evolving within it?' instead of 'Are you okay with the new project assignment?'

Example

Providing techniques for managers to listen actively and empathetically, ensuring they fully understand the employee's viewpoint.

Scenario

During a one-on-one meeting, a manager might be advised to reflect back what they've heard, such as, 'It sounds like you're saying you need more resources to meet the project deadline. Is that correct?' This ensures the employee feels heard and understood.

Example

Helping managers define clear, actionable objectives for each meeting to ensure it's productive and focused.

Scenario

One-on-One Coach might help a manager outline objectives like, 'Identify barriers to the employee's project progress and discuss potential solutions,' ensuring the meeting has a clear purpose and direction.
