Message Template
As you start your one-on-ones with your team, take the chance to build a solid foundation for your working relationship. Use this time to understand your team — creating an environment for their best performance.
Encourage your direct reports to share insights that can inform norms regarding working styles, communication preferences, and other relevant aspects.
Here are a few questions you can use to frame this:
- What conditions do you like to work in? (e.g., quiet environment, etc.)
- What is the best way to communicate with you?
- How do you like to receive feedback?
- How do you learn best?
- What do you need from your manager?
- How can I best support you and our team in achieving goals and performance targets?
- What would you like to know about me?
We also recommend that you reach out to your team members a few days prior to your meeting to introduce yourself and share what will be discussed in the meeting.
Things to consider:
- Customize these questions to your company values and culture.
- Include any resources the manager might need to help conduct these first meetings.
