The purpose of 1-1s

First, they create human connection between you and your manager.

  1. That doesn’t mean you spend the whole time talking about your hobbies or families or making small talk about the weekend.
  2. But letting your manager into your life a little bit is important, because when there are stressful things happening, it will be much easier to ask your manager for time off or tell him what you need if he has context on you as a person.
  3. Being an introvert is not an excuse for making no effort to treat people like real human beings, however. The bedrock of strong teams is human connection, which leads to trust.
