Effective monthly check-ins require a clear agenda and a focus on specific outcomes. Here are some steps to ensure they are productive:
Preparation: Both parties should come prepared. Leaders should review past performance and set an agenda. Set Clear Objectives: Define what you want to achieve from the meeting. Is it to review performance, set goals, or address challenges? Active Listening: Ensure that the conversation is two-way. Listen to your team member’s concerns and feedback. Action Items: End the meeting with clear action items and timelines. This ensures accountability and follow-through.
