We recommend that CEOs meet with their Direct Reports two times per month with one of the meetings serving as a Development One-on-One and the other meeting serving as a Business One-on-One. Development One-on-Ones focus on the Direct Report and their development.
What would you want a brand new direct report to ask you on day 1? Big picture, how do you view your role? What are the team's primary projects right now, and who is responsible for what? How do you stay synced with employees? Do you prefer to communicate by email, Teams, or in-person?
Managers should have no more than 7 direct reports at any given time. (maaaaaaybe 8). Any more, and they won't have time to infuse their team experience with the functional or industry-specific expertise that they need to shape teamwide success. Also, managers with more than 7 or 8 reports will burn out - and quickly.
Research and experience show that employee engagement (and by extension, performance) is highest when employees have weekly check-ins with their managers. If managers have more direct reports than they can meet with for 30 minutes each week, they should consider reorganizing their reporting structure.
Leadership team meetings should be held on a regular basis, but to be mindful of executives' busy schedules, monthly or quarterly is usually a good cadence.
Having less than 4 or more than 10 direct reports for this group would suggest it may be appropriate to review the span of control. While the number of direct reports is a fundamental component of an executive's scope of responsibility, it is not the only indicator.
How to run your first one-on-one with a new direct report Create a collaborative meeting agenda. Send the meeting agenda in advance. Explain the purpose and your expectations. Start with an icebreaker. Choose a recurring day and time. Ask questions to get to know them. Create alignment on roles. Provide and ask for feedback.
