    Before

    "A one-on-one is the single greatest lever you have as a manager to make your people more effective and your team more successful. Most managers don't use it because they never learned how." Ben Horowitz, The Hard Thing About Hard Things [...] "The hardest part of management is having hard conversations. And the second hardest part is having them early enough that they still matter." Kim Scott, Radical Candor

    After

    As Ben Horowitz argues in The Hard Thing About Hard Things, the one-on-one is one of the highest-leverage tools a manager has, yet many managers underuse it because they were never taught how to run one well. [...] As Kim Scott discusses in Radical Candor, one of the hardest parts of management is having difficult conversations early enough that they still matter.
