The Visible Leader

The Power of Weekly (Yes Weekly!) 1-2-1s : Dr Steven Rogelberg Shares Research-Backed Strategies

Listen on

Episode notes

Dr. Steven Rogelberg is an organizational psychologist whose award-winning research into meetings led to the publication of the highly successful book The Surprising Science of Meetings.

And again, he’s taken that research-based approach with his latest book – the excellent Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 meetings.

In this episode we challenge the idea that 1:1s are an optional extra for team members who ‘need’ them  - and offer a framework for how to get started.

We talk about:

  • What the research says and why 121s matter to your team members
  • Whether you can be too senior to need a 121.
  • What leaders are getting wrong.
  • The mechanics of what a good 121 should look like.
  • How to get started for leaders and for HR
