Too many leaders and employees treat one-on-one meetings as little more than status reports: What got done? What’s next? What’s on fire? In this episode of Grow Great, Lisa Norris and Randy Cantrell challenge that mindset. The best one-on-ones aren’t about reporting upward—they’re about thinking together. They’re opportunities to build trust, coach and be coached, uncover opportunities, solve problems before they grow, and strengthen the working relationship. Whether you’re a city manager, department director, supervisor, or individual contributor, you’ll discover why 1:1 meetings should be the most valuable conversations on your calendar.
Be well. Do good. Grow great!
