One on One Meetings — The Good, The Bad and The UglyJose Bautista
One-on-One's can add a whole new level of speed and agility to your company. Let's first talk about why One-on-One's are a crucial part of the "operating system" of how a company runs and operate. Because, at the end of the day, a company lives or dies for:
- Getting the best people to join the company
- Keeping them engaged and productive
- Make the great decisions about what these people should work on
In this presentation, we explain the good, the bad and the ugly about One on One meetings.
One On Ones are part of your essential management practice. One on ones are unsexy routine but it's the routine of your management practice that produces results. One on ones done right will change your life and put you on the path to management Nirvana. But of course the question is what do you actually do in a One on One meeting? There are 4 sections to a good one on one meeting agenda. They are 1. The Employees Agenda, 2. The Manager's Agenda, 3. Deliverables for the week ahead and 4. Growth.
The ability to manage meetings so that they are structured and productive is an essential skill of any good leader.
Here are some key points to keep in mind when
managing a team meeting...
Everything you need to know about 1 on 1s to prevent turnover and motivate yo...Jason Evanish
1 on 1 meetings are the single best tool a manager has to prevent turnover and drive performance with their teams. We share how you can start and make the most of these incredibly valuable meetings.
Whether you are replacing your performance reviews with 1 on 1s, or looking for ways for your managers to improve the 1 on 1s they already have, this is the deck for you.
We cover the latest research from places like Harvard and Stanford, as well as the timeless best practices great leaders like Andy Grove and Dale Carnegie have been using for decades.

2. Following Up-What is it?
Making additional contact with an employer after
meeting them, applying for a position, or interviewing
with them.
3. Different Types of Follow Up
• Hand written note
• Email
• Phone Call
• Social Networking-LinkedIn
4. Hand Written Note
• Appropriate when you have more than 3 days
before a hiring decision is made.
• If sending to multiple people within the same
organization, try to personalize each one to each
specific recipient.
• Bring a blank, pre stamped note with you to the
interview, while the information is fresh so you
can send it out right away.
5. Sample of a Hand Written Note
• Use a “Thank You” note
with simple and
professional font on
the cover.
• Use black or blue
ink pen.
• Make sure to thank the
employer for their time
and also mention the
position you applied for and briefly discuss your qualifications.
6. Email
• Appropriate to send if a hiring decision is going
to be made quickly.
• If sending to multiple people, send each email
individually. Don’t “cc”.
• Be sure to send from an appropriate email
address.
7. Sample Follow Up Email
• Thank the employer for their time, and make sure to mention the position
you applied for. Briefly mention your qualifications, and express your
interest in the position.
8. Phone Call
• Make sure you are in a quiet place with limited
background noise.
• Write down what you want to say ahead of time.
• Don’t call multiple times. If there isn’t an
answer, leave a voicemail.
9. What to Say in a Follow Up Phone Call
• After an interview:
▫ State the basics (name, date of interview, position of interest)
▫ Say thank you for the interview opportunity
▫ Inquire “What is the next step in the hiring process?”
• After an application:
▫ Again, state the basics (your name and position of interest)
▫ Inquire if your application has been received and if it is complete (“Is
there any other information you require?”)
▫ Express interest in the position and ask, “Is there a convenient time that
we could schedule an interview?”
▫ Make sure to get the name and contact information of the employer, as
well as the specific location of the interview.
10. Social Media
• Primarily focus on LinkedIn
• Make sure that your picture is professional, and
content is appropriate
• Don’t just add them as a connection, include a
personalized note reminding them of how they
know you
11. LinkedIn Connection Example
• Select how you know the
person you are connecting
with.
• Create a brief and personalized
message. State where you met the
person, and why you would like
to connect with them.
• On-going follow up is key! After
connecting via LinkedIn, continue
to follow up and network with them.
12. When Following Up, Do:
• Ask the interviewer when a hiring decision will
be made
• Obtain the correct names, job titles and contact
information for the people that interviewed you
• Use follow up to show your enthusiasm for the
position
• Send out ASAP after you meet
13. When Following Up, Don’t:
• Ever have any errors (error free is key!)
• Stop job hunting-even if you are confident
• Burn any bridges if you don’t get a job offer
• Be overly arrogant
14. Why Follow Up?
• Shows your interest in the position
• Keeps you fresh in the employers mind
• Less than 10% of all applicants do
• Makes you STAND OUT!
