A weak one-on-one is not a time problem. It is a structure problem.

When your one-on-ones keep getting canceled or drift into status updates, your team learns something you never meant to teach: this is not a priority. And the one place where small problems get surfaced early quietly disappears.

In this Leadership TTP episode, Jason LeDuc breaks down a 10-minute weekly one-on-one format that actually works — so you can build alignment, remove friction, and increase trust without turning your calendar into a burden.

💡 A conversation for leaders at every level… to talk about making one-on-ones a leadership advantage for:

- New managers and first-time people leaders

- Team leads whose 1:1s keep getting bumped by "urgent" work

- Executives who want clearer priorities and fewer surprises

- HR and L&D leaders coaching better manager habits

🤔 What you will learn:

- Why canceled one-on-ones quietly erode trust and signal "you are not a priority"

- A simple 10-minute weekly one-on-one agenda you can run every week

- Wins (minutes 1–2): what went well and where progress is happening

- Roadblocks (minutes 3–5): what is slowing your people down

- Priorities (minutes 6–8): the top 1–2 outcomes for next week

- Support (minute 9): what they need from you — a decision, resources, a conversation, or protection from distractions

- Commitments (minute 10): one commitment from them and one from you

- The monthly "deeper question" that surfaces clarity gaps before they become problems

- "What is one thing I could do to be a better leader for you?"

- "Where do you feel unclear?"

- Why one-on-ones are about alignment, support, and trust — not micromanagement

🔑 Practical ideas you can use this week

1) Set a non-negotiable 10-minute weekly cadence with each direct report — and keep it.

2) Use the same agenda every time: wins, roadblocks, priorities, support, commitments.

3) End every one-on-one with one commitment from them and one from you — then follow through.

4) Once this month, add one deeper question to surface clarity gaps early.

💬 Question for you:

What is the one part of a one-on-one you tend to skip — wins, roadblocks, priorities, support, or commitments?
