Your first 1:1 meetings as a new leader can shape everything that follows. I came across a great post by Nadeem Ahmad, also shared by Dr. Chris Mullen, that highlights something I strongly believe: Leadership starts with listening, not talking. Too often, leaders use these meetings to discuss tasks, deadlines, and project updates. But the real opportunity is to understand people. A few questions that stood out to me: 🔹 What conversation is everyone avoiding? 🔹 What would you change if you were leading this team? 🔹 What resources are you missing? 🔹 How can I help you succeed? The quality of your questions determines the quality of the trust you build. And trust is the foundation of every high-performing team. What’s the one question you always ask in a 1:1? 👀 Credit to Nadeem Ahmad and Dr. Chris Mullen for sharing these insights. Ricardo #Leadership #ProjectManagement #TeamBuilding #Trust #PeopleFirst
