Manager Tools - One on Ones

Effective managers know their team really well. They know what's up with them, what they're doing, what they're good at and how to motivate them. One On Ones are specific weekly meetings which give managers the knowledge they need to get the most out of their team. In this feed, we give you all the guidance you need to start and continue One On Ones effectively. Manager Tools is a weekly business podcast focused on helping professionals become more effective managers and leaders. Each week, we discuss specific actions for professionals to take to achieve their desired management and career objectives. Manager Tools won Best Business Podcast Award in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2012 as well as the People's Choice Award in 2008. The Business Podcast Award is now named after Manager Tools.
