Are You Having Enough 1:1s with Your Team Members?

Let’s get real: When was the last time you had a meaningful, intentional 1:1 with each of your team members?

If it’s been a while—or if they’re not a consistent habit—here’s why that needs to change:
📊 65% of employees say they want more feedback than they’re currently getting. (Officevibe)
📊 63% of employees say they prefer timely, real-time feedback over annual performance reviews. (PwC)

The message is clear: Your team craves connection and feedback. Yet, many leaders struggle to deliver it consistently. Why?

The answer often boils down to fear:
🛑Fear of saying the wrong thing.
🛑Fear of creating tension or discomfort.
🛑Fear of not having all the answers.

It’s easy to let these fears push 1:1s down the priority list. But as leaders, we must be brave enough to overcome those fears and make consistent, meaningful 1:1s a cornerstone of how we lead.

Why? Because avoiding them sends an unspoken message to your team: I don’t have time for you.

A great 1:1 isn’t just a calendar invite; it’s an act of leadership bravery. It’s your chance to:
1️⃣ Build trust through regular, authentic connection.
2️⃣ Provide the real-time feedback your employees are craving that supports growth and performance.
3️⃣ Align on goals, address challenges, and celebrate wins.

Regular 1:1s are necessary if you want a high-performing, engaged team.
