1/1s to evolve & improve your relationship with your team
Tips on 1/1 questions and templates on improving your relationship with your team
Hey there,
Do you know this feeling that creeps up when you work with someone for a longer period and you have a good relationship generally, but you kinda get lazy with the 1/1s and so you don’t look as deeply into conflicts and things kinda start piling up. This is very dangerous territory, because often those relationships that you “stress” the least about are the most important and getting complacent with those can cost you the most, if those relationships start to “crumble”.
So I dug into questions and templates for 1/1s that can help you address “latent” conflicts and make sure you move your relationship forward, instead of stalling it.
