Steven Rogelberg: Glad We Met Steven Rogelberg is an organizational psychologist, holding the title of Chancellor's Professor at UNC Charlotte for distinguished national, international and interdisciplinary contributions. He is an award-winning teacher and recipient of the Humboldt Award for his research on meetings. He is the author of Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings*. Many us appreciate the value of 1:1 meetings with employees. For a lot of managers, it's one of their biggest time commitments. And yet, nobody ever taught us how to do it. In this conversation, Steven and I discuss how to actually structure an effective 1:1. Key Points First and foremost, a 1:1 meeting is for the direct report. A set schedule for 1:1's with your team reduces bias by ensuring you connect with everyone, consistently. A loose framework is better than a lock-step agenda. Two approaches help: the manager proposing a core question or listing out topics that the direct report brings. Avoid status update meetings by articulating the purpose of 1:1's and dedicating agenda time (or future meetings) to bigger picture topics. Skip-level 1:1's are valuable for both employees and senior leaders. Avoid undermining another leader by approaching the meeting with the mindset to support the employee, rather than making decisions.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang wants to completely do away with 1:1 meetings. “They (1:1s) are really not necessary. If there is a strategic direction, why do you tell one person? You tell everybody,” he said. Most 1:1s meetings are ineffective, inconsistent, and often futile. In companies that mandate it, it is simply a check in the box. Employees use it to lobby for promotion, crib about annoying co-workers, or overshare personal details. So, managers hijack these meetings and turn them into monologues. But 1:1 can be a gamechanger, if used well. It makes the workplace more democratic, especially if the organization is hierarchical, and gives employees a dedicated space to express themselves fully and make themselves heard. Research suggests that employees who do 1:1s well, and regularly, are more engaged at work and productive.Host Akshaya Chandrasekaran talks to the world's leading expert on meetings, Steven Rogelberg, and Kamal Karanth, the founder of specialist staffing firm Xpheno to find out ways to make it work and get what you want in these 1:1 meetings.

Sadly, when we think about those meetings since they happen typically so infrequently, we often dread them. Because when we are asked to come into the office for a 1:1 it is not usually good news. What if we changed all that? What if we did more frequent 1:1s that actually were planned. That could be fulfilling, life changing, business changing, and would improve both the employee and the employer? Well, that is exactly what we are going to dig into on this episode of A New Direction with Organizational Psychologist and Meeting Expert Dr. Steven Rogelberg and his latest book "Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings". Steven Rogelberg's book, "Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings" is by far one of the best books on how to have successful 1:1 meetings. This book is for mangers and their direct reports, owners and their employees, C-suite professionals and their employees, consultants, coaches, and anyone else who is trying to improve. The science behind "Glad We Met" is thorough and puts teeth behind many of the thoughts, words, and phrases we use everyday when it comes to creating meetings that have meaning and move the needle when it comes the people we work with. The book is not a dry read. In fact Steven Rogelberg makes "Glad We Met" and enjoyable read with his wit and humor. The bonus of this book is that Steven provides questions, assessments, and guides to help you make you 1:1 meetings the best that they can be. Please note that ALL proceeds from "Glad We Met" go to cancer research in support of Steven's sister-in-law. I personally believe it is a must read!

One-on-one meetings are the cornerstone of manager-employee relationships. For managers, they're an opportunity to teach, coach, and mentor. For employees, they're a chance to grow and develop. But given how important these meetings are, how well are we using them? How effectively do we plan and run them? Bottom line - are they an afterthought or a priority? These are just some of the questions, I asked meeting expert Steven Rogelberg, author of the book, Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings. In response, Steve not only described what the most effective one-on-one meetings look like, but he also explained how to design and lead them. I left the interview with lots of practical tips and tools. Episode Links This is the Most Important Meeting You'll Have. Here's How to Make It Better. Meetings Can Really Suck.

Every day, in offices around the world, there are an estimated 200 million one-on-one meetings. In "Glad We Met," Steven Rogelberg asks: are all those 1:1s run as effectively as possible?

We discuss how 1:1 meetings add value and save time, ways employees can shape these meetings for success, how to measure for meaning, and the secret to increasing adoption.

It's the new year, and your work schedule is probably full of meetings! On Charlotte Talks, expert and organizational psychologist Steven Rogelberg will talk about making 1:1 meetings better, productive and even pleasant.
The manager-direct report relationship is one of the most critical in every workplace. It can make or break the employee experience. What helps make it successful is a consistent check-in cadence for employees to raise concerns or seek support. But beyond frequency, there isn't a lot of training for managers and there's even less research as to what makes them work. Steven Rogelberg is the author of the new book Glad We Met: The Art of Science of 1:1 Meetings, a rare exploration of the recipe for an effective check-in between a manager and direct report. In this episode of How We Work, he explains the responsibilities of managers and direct reports, and ultimately what an effective check-in should look and sound like.Edited by: Mike LovettMusic by: Breakmaster CylinderLINKSSteven's websiteThese 1:1 meetings are especially helpful for employee groups that have historically been marginalized in the workplace.

Most good bosses know that they should schedule regular one-on-ones with each of their team members. But fewer know exactly how to manage these meetings well, in part because organizations rarely offer relevant training. Steven Rogelberg, Chancellor's Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, has spent years researching the best way to prepare for, structure, engage in, and follow up on one-on-ones. He says they're a key way to boost performance, and offers tips for ensuring that we all get more out of them. Rogelberg is author of the book Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings.
In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, host Brandon Laws sits down with Dr. Steven Rogelberg, the Chancellor's Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Dr. Rogelberg shares insights from his book, Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings, exploring topics such as the managerial role in effective 1:1s, the wide-ranging benefits, and practical implementation strategies for this foundational aspect of effective leadership. TAKEAWAYS In his book, Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings, Dr. Rogelberg emphasizes the transformative potential of one-on-one meetings in organizations and for leaders. While the agenda should be driven by the employee, managers play a vital role in creating an infrastructure to ensure the effectiveness of 1:1s. 1:1 meetings improve employee engagement, retention, team performance, and contribution to inclusion efforts. The blueprint for effective 1:1s focuses on building agendas, involving the direct report, and maintaining continuity across meetings to tell the story of the employee's progress. For managers handling a large number of employees, the episode suggests practical strategies to focus on quality not quantity — adjusting meeting frequency, reducing time per meeting, and leveraging asynchronous documents for follow-through.

Did you know that effective 1:1s will 3X your employee engagement?
Simplify Your Sales and Business meetings. Lisa Thal is an Author, Speaker, and Business Coach. She has over 35 years of marketing, sales, and leadership experience. She wrote the book "Three Word Meetings." Lisa coaches leaders on simplifying sales and business meetings with fun and interesting 3-word topics to motivate and inspire your sales team. Episode 172 is about how much money unnecessary meetings cost your company. In some cases, it can be millions of dollars. Are meetings necessary? This week I saw a conversation on LinkedIn around an article written about how Useless Meetings Waste Time and $100 Million a Year for Big Companies. You know, that grabbed my attention with being the author of the Three Words Meetings book. A new survey shows that employees don't need to be in nearly one-third of the meetings they attend, and women are more reluctant than men to decline invitations; imagine that! The article went on to share that Unnecessary meetings are a $100 million mistake at big companies, according to a new survey that shows workers probably don't need to be in nearly a third of the appointments they attend. A survey conducted by Steven Rogelberg, a professor of organizational science, psychology, and management at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, created a study around meetings. They asked 632 employees across 20 industries to study their weekly calendars and gauge how much time they spent in meetings, what they got out of them and how they responded to invitations. On average, employees spend about 18 hours weekly in meetings and only decline 14% of invites even though they'd prefer to back out 31% of them. Reluctantly going to noncritical meetings wastes about $25,000 per employee annually and projects out to $101 million a year for any organization with more than 5,000 employees. "Meetings do control us, and bad meetings have an enormous cost," said Rogelberg, who's been researching meetings for two decades. "You get a meeting invite and say, 'I don't need to be there,' yet you say yes — why?" Just Say No Employees want to skip nearly one-third of their meeting invites. Many say yes because it's a workplace norm — nobody wants to offend the meeting organizer by skipping out or having co-workers think they're not engaged. Others hate having to chase down updates on what happened. Source: Steven Rogelberg, Otter.ai Few companies have, however. Rogelberg's earlier research found that poorly managed meetings can hurt employee engagement and even boost their intention to quit. Meetings worsened during the pandemic due to the shift to remote work and videoconferencing. Data from Microsoft Corp. based on thousands of users of its workplace software found that time spent in meetings has tripled since February 2020, and the number of weekly meetings has more than doubled. Those virtual meetings "tend to be more cognitively demanding, more prone to distraction, and less effective in many ways than their in-person counterparts," a team of researchers concluded in a recent study that examined how communication patterns changed right after pandemic lockdowns hit in 2020. Meetings are necessary, but we must be careful when scheduling them. Rogelberg's survey shared that most end up multitasking during unnecessary meetings. We don't want that for our employees or us. I wanted to share four questions you can ask yourself when considering a meeting is necessary that I learned from Adam Grant, an Organizational psychologist at Wharton and #1 NYT bestselling author of Think Again; Adam believes: There are four reasons to meet: To decide. To learn. To bond To do. If it doesn't serve one of those purposes, cancel it. Then I recommend implementing the Three Word Meetings topic process I created. Build those meetings around simple-to-remember words that engrain what you want your team or clients to remember. The Three Word meeting topics also allow your employees to share their views and the meetings become more collaborative versus a data dump on them. Another helpful tip is to manage the amount of time for a meeting. Some discussions linger and steal time from others. Keep them brief when you can maintain their attention and cut down on drifters. Set a time limit, whether 15, 29, or 39 minutes. I have come to understand during my 35-year career that people support meetings with a purpose. So think about all the meetings you have been included in and ask if that meeting is necessary. Is there something I can do differently moving forward to create more time to focus on growing revenue, coaching your team, and sharing solutions for our clients? I will leave you with this thought, to Meet or Not Meet, that is the question.

Meetings don't have to be boring and unproductive. Steve Rogelberg, author of The Surprising Science of Meetings, offers 3 ways to make your meetings more productive based on science and research. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
An estimated 55 million meetings happen across the USA every day and 9 out of 10 employees admit to daydreaming during meetings. Forty seven percent said attending too many meetings is the No. 1 time waster. Dr Steven Rogelberg, author of The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance provides direction, smart tactics and a how-to guide to change your working life. Steven is the world's leading expert on fixing meetings to stop wasting time and perform with better efficiency. The book's title is 'The Surprising Science of Meetings: How You Can Lead Your Team to Peak Performance'. What is peak performance? Why the science of, why not the research of? What does science tell us that research doesn't? What does evidence tell us about the effectiveness of meetings today vs say 5 years ago? When we have meetings that are not fulfilling or empowering, how does that impact the company or team engagement? Have we gotten to a point where bad meetings are the expectation? Is it a self perpetuating thing? What's the residue following a bad or unproductive meeting? What would Steven put in a course on running meetings? Good stewards are committed to selfless service. Where does ego sit in a productive meeting? Should how we run a great meeting almost be part of the identity of a great leader? Steven has said he has seen himself as a scholar. How does that influence how he sees his work in the corporate landscape? Steven's best friend's dad once spoke with his father and that conversation taught him a valuable lesson. What lesson did he learn? There is a space between stimulus and response. In that space what would Steven hear? Many attendees if not the actual leader are late for meetings. What is the effect of lateness on the effectiveness of meetings? The DRI Directly Responsible Individual is something Apple uses after each meeting. Why does it work? How should a meeting debrief be done? Using daily huddles and super brief meetings that last no longer than ten minutes. In Steven's research how important is to have true dissension in a productive meeting? How should dissension be managed? Does Steven like notetaking via digital or paper?

Let's admit it, there have been plenty of times we've left a meeting thinking it could have been summed up in an email.
