Make Your One-On-Ones Count

DAY 34: 90 Days. 90 Sparks

One-on-ones aren’t just status updates.
They’re leadership moments.

Used well, they’re a chance to:
– Strengthen trust
– Spot roadblocks early
– Fuel personal and professional growth

So make them count.

Don’t just ask, “How’s the project going?”
Ask:
– “What’s been on your mind lately?”
– “What’s getting in your way?”
– “How can I support your growth?”

One-on-ones are your chance to:
– Check in, not check up
– Offer feedback and recognition
– Understand goals, challenges, and aspirations

Because great leadership isn’t just about managing work.
It’s about connecting with people.

Today’s Spark:
The best one-on-ones go beyond tasks. They build trust.
