I love 1:1 meetings. It’s a chance to swap feedback and make sure our company is working. It’s also one of the reasons we built SoapBox bot — a bot to help people have productive 1:1 and team meetings. The reaction has been overwhelming: Managers from over 500 of the best companies in the world (Adobe, Intercom, Wayfair, etc…) are now using it with their teams.
One of the features people love most is our Question Suggester — if they’re stuck for something to add to their agenda, we suggest questions they could use to start a productive conversation.
I wanted to know which questions get used most often, so I dug into the data (I can see the suggested questions they chose, not what gets typed!). So, without further ado, here are the top 10 questions asked in real-life 1:1s as judged by real-life managers!
