Lead the team

Lens

How Sidekick reads these meetings when you walk this route.

In a one-to-one the manager who talks most learns least: let them do most of the talking. Inquiry 4+ means asking what is in the way before offering advice. Pushback 4+ means feedback that names the behaviour and the example, about the work, never the person; a vague hint is Pushback 2, softening is fine. Closing 4+ means the person leaves owning one next step with a date. Taking the task back yourself is Closing 2.
