Imagine walking into a one-on-one meeting with your boss and leaving feeling not just heard, but genuinely empowered. It almost sounds too good to be true, but Professor Steven Rogelberg, a renowned organisational psychologist, insists it's not only possible but essential. In this episode of How I Work, I sit down with Steven to peel back the layers on what makes for effective one-on-one meetings that inspire and motivate. Did you know that the right questions in these meetings can be the key to unlocking your employees' potential? Steven takes us on a deep dive into the crucial ways to approach one-on-one conversations, from asking powerful questions to the subtle art of listening that can fuel positive change. With the shift to remote work, he also touches on how managers can adapt their strategies to maintain that crucial human connection across the digital divide.
