Episode Summary:

In this episode of The Glass Sessions, we’re diving into one of the most underrated leadership tools: the one-on-one meeting. Whether you're a manager or an employee, these conversations can build trust, improve performance, and promote growth when done right.

We share real stories along with practical advice on how to:

• Prepare for meaningful check-ins
• Build agendas that matter
• Recognize wins and give feedback
• Strengthen communication and career development

We also answer a listener question about navigating one-on-ones with a new boss after a departmental shakeup - and why you can and should initiate these meetings if your manager doesn’t.

Whether you’re leading the conversation or just trying to get more out of your one-on-ones, this episode gives you frameworks, encouragement, and a few laughs along the way.
