Don’t Just Take Our Word for It:
"A powerful resource for supervisors and managers to help create accountability and engagement through one-on-one meetings. Especially useful to help build good habits for those who have direct reports for the very first time!"
– Jennifer Cross, BCC, Perceptive Leadership Services
"Overall, Chapter 3 provides excellent strategies for structuring and conducting effective one-on-ones. Implementing these insights will enhance my approach to leadership and communication... Chapter 5 is straightforward and packed with valuable insights."
– Jared Williams
"I really like the section for who’s doing the talking. Managers feel like they typically need to talk the most since they set the agenda, but realizing that it’s really more time for the direct report to speak and them to listen is crucial."
– Anna Lou, Vice-President

Customer Reviews
Nicholas here - founder of The Unstuck Box, and I'm genuinely excited to share our most requested resource ever: The High-Impact 1:1 Playbook.
Ever since we launched The Unstuck Box: One-to-Ones deck, we've been flooded with messages asking, "But how exactly do I implement this in my weekly meetings?" This playbook is our answer - the companion that transforms those powerful conversation prompts into a complete system for leadership excellence.
Creating this guide has been both a labor of love and rigorous research. We've distilled everything we know about effective 1:1s - drawing from our own leadership experiences inside organizations like Google, combined with cutting-edge academic research from Harvard Business School and London Business School. What makes this different, though, is how we've incorporated direct feedback and success stories from over 40,000 managers already using The Unstuck Box in their daily leadership practice.
One challenge we heard repeatedly was how to handle specific management scenarios that make even experienced leaders uncomfortable. That's why we've included dedicated sections for navigating underperformance conversations, addressing low motivation, resolving team conflicts, and turning around disengagement - complete with word-for-word scripts that feel natural and get results.
We've also recognized how dramatically the workplace has changed. The playbook features specialized guidance for remote 1:1s (vastly different from in-person meetings) and - something I'm particularly proud of - breakthrough techniques for connecting with team members who are reluctant to open up or share their thoughts.
Just like our card decks, we've designed this playbook to be beautiful, durable, and immediately useful - something you'll want to keep within arm's reach before, during, and after every important conversation.
I truly believe this playbook, paired with our One-to-Ones deck, creates the most comprehensive 1:1 system available anywhere. I'd love to hear how it transforms your leadership practice and the ripple effects you see across your team.
Here's to conversations that matter,
Nicholas
