Our Verdict
With a decade-long gap between my managerial roles, I revisited this course with fresh perspective—and it still stands out. The Manager's Guide to Effective One on One Meetings goes beyond being an excellent starting point for novice managers or supervisors in need of a structured 1:1 approach; it provides seasoned professionals like myself the impetus to transform stale meetings into opportunities that foster growth and collaboration. While Udemy’s platform glitches resulted in some incomplete assignments, their support efficiently addressed those issues. My only critique revolves around feedback scenarios that would benefit from more context, allowing participants to better relate and respond. Despite this minor flaw, I wholeheartedly recommend this course as an essential resource for any manager seeking a blueprint for effective one-on-one meetings.
