[Template] The GOOD One-on-One Meeting

What's Inside:

Highly engaged organizations rank one-on-one meetings as the best communication strategy. This is ahead of emails from leadership and all-company meetings. It's clear that 1:1 meetings can be very effective.

But not all one-on-one meetings are created equal.

The GOOD model allows managers to build trust and motivate employees to take ownership of their performance.

Goals.

Discuss professional goals and goal progress since your last one on one meeting and consider adjustments.

Obstacles.

Identify roadblocks to goal completion and employee success.

Opportunities.

Consider new opportunities for further learning, development, and growth.

Decisions.

Agree upon action items needed before your next one-on-one meeting.
