How to Summarize One-on-one Check-ins

One-on-one check-ins are crucial for team leaders to maintain strong communication and foster relationships with their team members. These meetings help in understanding individual challenges and goals while aligning them with organizational objectives. Taking accurate and structured notes is essential to track progress over time and ensure that both parties leave the meeting with a clear understanding of the discussed topics and action items.
