The manager-direct report relationship is one of the most critical in every workplace. It can make or break the employee experience. What helps make it successful is a consistent check-in cadence for employees to raise concerns or seek support. But beyond frequency, there isn't a lot of training for managers and there's even less research as to what makes them work.
Steven Rogelberg is the author of the new book Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings, a rare exploration of the recipe for an effective check-in between a manager and direct report. In this episode of How We Work, he explains the responsibilities of managers and direct reports, and ultimately what an effective check-in should look and sound like.
