EM — How to run your one-on-ones as a manager

One of the main tools of an engineering manager, and of a manager in general, is a well run one-on-one meeting. It allows managers to keep close with their team, to share useful information to the team members (top-down communication) or to get feedback and possibly escalate information (bottom-up communication). I will here talk about what can be expected from such meetings, and then give a few pieces of advice on how to run your first one-on-ones. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*Z6gt4NsPLlLy8xN6" style="height:467px; width:700px" /> Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@airfocus?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">airfocus</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=referral" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Unsplash</a> <h1>What to expect from One-on-Ones</h1> You can classify the subjects of the one-on-ones on different categories I will go through now.
