Rolling out One-on-Ones-- best way to proceed?

Submitted by tri3tim

Hello fellow managers,

I am taking the leap and rolling out the Trinity starting with One-on-Ones. For background purposes, I manage managers not direct contributors. My initial thought was to roll out the Management Tools one-on-one format to my team during our next staff meeting. It's a great format and I want to make this a standard practice in our business.

After further consideration I thought it may be more effective to use the technique with my direct reports for a few weeks, so they experience it, and assuming things go well rolling it out to my managers at our staff meeting in a month or two.

Any thoughts on the best way to proceed?

Regards,

Tim

  Congratulations on starting up O3s. The manager tools basics podcasts are pretty explicit about how to do this: http://www.manager-tools.com/manager-tools-basics. I have not ever made an announcement at a staff meeting, but I have informed my boss that O3s were going to start.

Hope this helps.
