Maximizing Engagement Through Better, More Effective 1:1s (ft. Eric Williams)

Flip Flops & People Ops (w/ Christie Hoffman)

Do your managers lack training? (I'll answer for you... YES.) Have a feeling it's probably causing your people and teams to be disengaged? (I'll answer for you again, probably ALSO YES.)
In this episode, Eric Williams, a seasoned leadership coach, shares his best practices on how one-on-one (1:1) meetings between managers and their team members can help build a culture of trust, collaboration, and high performance. When managers know how to hold effective 1:1s, they can become a valuable extension of you and your leadership team's people-first philosophy.
Key Topics:

• What makes a 1 on 1 effective (and what doesn't)
• Seemingly obvious things most managers don't know (ex: talk LESS!)
• Getting to know the whole employee, outside of work too
• Employee Engagement comes from mostly relationships and the basic human need for connection
