Well-established communication with your colleagues is the cornerstone of a successful career and business.One-to-one meetings (121s) are a highly popular approach in modern software development.My idea is that 121s should be the backbone of the company.They need to create a system where these meetings happen regularly and maintain themselves.The main idea is that 121 meetings should be longer and require more than 30 minutes.The second primary goal of 121s is to stay informed about what's happening within your team and communicate your expectations to your team members.You are the boss, so there are additional recommendations.The team eventually adapted to the new routine, and soon everyone saw the benefits.Regular, structured conversations, allowed Alex to address most issues with minimal resources.In the end, the company overcame its quality issues and continued to expand in the market.
