Tip of the month Listening to their needs from Leading Productive One-on-One Meetings with Dave Crenshaw An essential part of running a one-on-one meeting is allowing the other person to state their needs and ask questions. If you’re the meeting leader, let the other person go first. Begin by simply asking, “What do you need from me?” and then listen to what they say. Here are some tips to help you be an effective listener: First, allow the other person to go through their one-on-one list. Let them take their time and make sure they have the opportunity to ask any questions that they have written down, or any questions that come to mind. Listen from the perspective of finding out how you can help the other person. Listen with an attitude of service. Listen attentively to everything that’s asked of you and give your best effort to help out in any way that you can. When you’re asked to do something, be sure to clarify what the next step is, and when that step should be done. You’ll be better prepared to follow through. Finally, as appropriate, make a commitment to follow through and do what you said you would. Remember that in the one-on-one meeting, your most important role is to serve the other person. When you both have an attitude of service, one-on-one meetings are incredibly powerful. Want more meeting tips, including determining an agenda and delegating your needs? Watch Dave Crenshaw’s full course, Leading Productive One-on-One Meetings.
