Show Notes

In this episode, Scott Hanselman and Mark Russinovich share strategies for conducting more effective and purposeful one-on-one meetings. They emphasize the value of tailoring the approach to each individual, encouraging agenda-setting in advance, and prioritizing critical topics to ensure they are addressed. The discussion covers best practices for providing and receiving constructive feedback, maintaining visibility across teams, and striking a balance between trust and accountability. They also address the importance of recognizing contributions, differentiating between credit and “lift,” and using one-on-ones to proactively identify and remove obstacles.


Takeaways:   

  • Tailor meeting style to each person’s preferences for communication and frequency
  • Avoid over-preparation or unnecessary large meetings when a small discussion will suffice
  • Share discussion topics ahead of one-on-ones with senior leaders to maximize value
