The One-on-One He Filled

His direct report booked 30 minutes because she was stuck. She opened with one sentence about the problem, and the Broadcaster took it from there. Context, history, 3 ideas, a story from 2019, and what he would do.

At minute 28 he asked if that helped. She said yes. She left with his answer and none of her own thinking, and the next time she gets stuck, she will book another 30 minutes.

The Broadcaster treats a one-on-one as a chance to transmit. It is the one meeting that belongs to the other person. The move: ask one question, then let her talk until she finds the next one herself.

Tomorrow: the Broadcaster from another angle.
