Studies show that the most important aspect of 1:1s is that they happen regularly. Each 1:1 builds on the last, setting the stage for future discussions. During these meetings, participants review past agreements and make new commitments. For example, a leader might promise resources, while the employee commits to specific outcomes in terms of effort and quality.

Over time, these agreements form the foundation of the relationship between a leader and their direct report. The level of trust is shaped by how well both sides keep their promises.

The fuehrr.com platform helps both parties document their agreements, track promises, and decide how much data they want to record. At a minimum, it tracks when and between whom a 1:1 occurred, which already provides value. However, users can also choose to collect additional data, such as:

• Feedback from the leader (numeric or written)
• The employee’s passion or determination for their current work
• Goals set by both the leader and the employee
• Written reflections and feedback
• Agreements and promises made between both parties
• Personal notes from each participant

By tracking these details, the platform supports transparency, accountability, and trust, ensuring that both leaders and employees have a clear picture of their progress and relationship.
