As heard by us
An episode about one-to-ones, manager touchpoints, and keeping information moving.
The episode opens with a detour into the show's new website, which gives the first stretch a promotional feel, but the core idea lands clearly: one-to-ones and broader team touchpoints help leaders stay visible and keep information moving.
