Host Frequent 1:1 Meetings And Be Open To Feedback
1-on-1 meetings are a great opportunity for managers to talk candidly with their direct reports. They are also opportunities for managers to grow as leaders of a remote team, to reflect on their own mentoring skills, their ability to give feedback and listen to constructive criticism.
Some questions that managers can ask during these meetings:
- What’s on your mind this week?
- Last time we spoke, you said X was a challenge for you. How is that going?
- What are your plans and priorities for this week?
- How aligned do you feel with where the company is going?
- What feedback do you have for me?

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
