Checklist for leading one on one meetings
This is the second in a series for people who want to use one-on-one meetings as a great tool for leading the efforts of their team members
A structured but flexible one-to-one meetings approach is probably the best way you’ll find for managing and motivating the work of your individual team members. But sometimes it isn’t easy to know how to go about doing that effectively, or to make sure that it will get the results you’d want – such as switched-on and fulfilled team members and tasks that get done well and on time.
If you right-click the image above and then select “Save as…” you can download your own copy of the checklist.
Life as a manager can often be very busy and quite complicated, so if that’s the case for you – use this checklist as a way of getting started, in this order:
- Take stock of which items on the checklist you already have in place or already know the answers to?
- Once you’ve done that, which is the most straightforward item on the checklist for you to work on next?
If you need more information, you can read the rest of the tips when published here. They’re essentially a summary of my short ebooklet.

I wrote that short ebooklet when, in the space of a fortnight, three separate coaching clients mentioned that they were struggling a little with running their one-to-one meetings with their individual team members. It’s easy to cover those kinds of issues in a coaching session, but it seemed to me that it would make better use of my clients’ time in our sessions if I could also just give them some simple guidance to take away and use as and when they wanted. I hope that the booklet has been useful – it’s been slowly working its way up the independent management books charts anyway. The next in the series will cover Delegation.
What’s essential for you, when running your own one-on-one sessions with your team members? Either leave a comment below if they’re still open at the time of reading, or tweet me @nickrobcoach.
