This week I had a conversation with the managing director of a Melbourne-based company whom I’ve only met twice in person.
The first time we met was circa 2015/2016 (neither of us can remember) when I presented our 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀® program to his TEC group.
Unbeknownst to me, he bought my book by the same name and began to implement monthly 1:1s between manager and direct report.
It made a difference.
Over the last couple of years, he’s enrolled all of his managers into our online Mind Reading program.
When we met this week I asked him how that was going and he shared that they had just received the results of their latest engagement survey.
He said there was a direct correlation between the managers who were having 1:1s and using this structure and their teams’ engagement and those that weren’t.
At the risk of stating the obvious, those teams that were using the structure had the highest engagement within the organization. Those that don’t have the lowest.
This is not an unusual conversation. I hear from leaders all the time about the power of 1:1s.
I certainly didn’t invent the concept of 1:1 meetings between managers and direct reports. But I did develop a structure, tools, exercises, and scripts for managers to use to plan, prepare and conduct monthly 1:1s based on reverse engineering over 5,000 exit interviews.
This is our Mind Reading for Managers® program and it takes the guesswork out of employee engagement and retention.
This program can be especially useful in a market like this where there is an increasing upward pressure on pay and benefits – sometimes to extraordinary levels.
We may not be able to (nor should we) always pay people what they ask for – but we can ALWAYS find out more about their non-monetary drivers.
Mind Reading for Managers® provides a proven structure to do this with loads of testimonials about the bottom-line results our clients have experienced.
