6 Conversations Every New Manager Must Have with Every Employee

Get the playbook for the exact conversations that will help you ACE people mgmt.

The "no news is good news" silence or waiting for the official performance review is a huge mistake. But 'what do I say' and 'when?' often holds newly promoted managers back from having daily and weekly PREDICTABLE conversations with employees. And then, the good ones flail or leave.

Instead, you could deploy a highly-usable, weekly/daily conversation cadence that drives performance, development, and trust. In this course, in 3 weeks, you'll have a playbook and a chance to practice and get feedback for the six most important types of conversations every newly promoted manager should be having with every employee.

Delaying feedback (conflict averse?) and goal alignment turns into too-late-to-save surprises during formal reviews, disengagement, resentment, and avoidable retention risk.

In this interactive and engaging course, learn a tight set of conversation types with exact triggers, prompts, and “what to do next” commitments. In 3 weeks, you'll be able to run a complete weekly check-in + deliver both positive and developmental feedback, plus align work through goals and strengths conversations.

What you’ll learn

Prepare to keep your employees highly motivated & high performing by incorporating the 6 conversations into your day-to-day & weekly cadence

  • Weekly 1:1 conversations can provide an opportunity to discuss goals, performance, feedback, career, or simply continue to build trust

  • Infuse your workplace interactions with more sincere positive messages (not fake or phony platitudes!)

  • Good managers regularly provide employees with timely, specific insights on *what* they can improve & *why* (w/o breaking their motivation!)

  • Guide your employees to set measurable, specific, & results-oriented goals -- short-, mid-, & long-term --and track their progress regularly

  • Engage employees in conversations about their strengths – what they are, how to use them daily, and how to leverage them more for engagement

  • Talk to employees about their development regularly -- at least quarterly -- to keep them growing, engaged, and highly-contributing
