Download - Introduction to One on-Ones for Employees
In fact, as a bit of a
perfectionist without the
best confidence I was
quite anxious about
my performance being
reviewed and criticized
But at the same time I
wanted
recognition and
bonuses for the hard
work I had put in and I
wanted to progress in
my career
Because, even if I’ve
done something wrong,
it’s better to catch it early on before it
became an issue that
meant I was going to
miss out on my bonus
or worse
And on top of that
– if you have a
boss that runs
great one-on-ones
then you’re going
to get a lot of other
benefits
And it doesn’t matter if
you’ve never had a one-
on-one with your boss,
or if you’ve had
hundreds, there is
always something
to learn
I wish I’d known about
this when I started out
because I could’ve
saved myself a lots of
stress, a lot of time,
plus progressed
faster in my career
Your boss can speak
to you any time they
wants, but OOO’s are
the only time that you
can speak to your
boss about your
interests
• It’s your time with your boss
• The more worthwhile you make it for your boss, the better it will be for you too
• It’s your time with your boss
• The more worthwhile you make it for your boss, the better it will be for you too
• Keeping your boss in the loop is good for you both
I can share with you
that bosses find it
extremely
frustrating when
they don’t know what
their employees have
been doing or what they
are planning to do
But in terms of
efficiency and
minimizing
interruptions, bosses
will appreciate it if you
can “Package up” your
non-urgent
communication into
one, time-
efficient package
But note that your boss is
unlikely to want to
get embroiled in inter-
personal issues or job
related problems that they
think you should’ve taken
care of
#1 – Working on priorities
your boss doesn’t value
because this is just wasting
your time and frustrating
your boss
#2 – Neglecting priorities
that your boss feels are
important because your
boss will feel like you aren’t
doing your job
Because what I’ve
witnessed is that what
the boss wants and
what the employee
does is almost
always out of
alignment
If you’ve ever had that
feeling of working
hard, but your boss
not appreciating
you, then there’s a
good chance that this
is what is happening
• Save yourself time by not doing stuff your boss doesn’t want
• Get better bonuses and promotions by giving your boss exactly what they do want
This is your chance to
clarify your priorities
to make sure they are
aligned with what your
boss wants
This is just a quick
tip from my course
on how to
manage your
relationship with
your boss. I show
you how to do this in
that module.
• A better boss relationship
• Solve problems
• Priorities
• Personal & career growth for you

It’s not nice not
being appreciated
and it’s dangerous if
your boss doesn’t
appreciate the value
you bring.
• A better boss relationship
• Solve problems
• Priorities
• Personal & career growth for you
• Get your work contributions recognized
• Be kept in the loop by your boss
So as you can see, one-
on-ones with your boss
might be intimidating
but they have a massive
potential to…
