The one-on-one problem

Most one-on-ones are status checkups in disguise.

Calendar invites get sent. Updates get traded. Nothing actually gets said. Meanwhile, the things that drive real performance (trust, clarity, growth) never come up. Leader in a Box exists to fix that, one question at a time.
