For me, one-on-ones are a super mixed bag. Personally, I get very little out of them. If I have feedback for my manager or vice-versa, I see zero reason to wait until a scheduled meeting to bring that up.

That said, I’ve managed people that absolutely needed regularly-scheduled one-on-ones, because they needed the dedicated time and space to bring things up that they otherwise wouldn’t in the normal course of business.

It really depends on the employee in question. I don’t think a one-size-fits-all approach works here.

This is the right answer. Where possible, tailor management practices to the needs of the individual employee.
