⁠@NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang discourages 1:1s.

[KamiKomplex]

This is because he isn't in a mentoring position btw. If you are then don't neglect 1:1s.

As a manager, the one on one isn't for me to share information. The one on one is so I can have personal time with my team to HEAR THEM.

[jmisc]

his point was transparency and preventing "generals" and "golden boys" pretending they have exclusive access to the boss.

Some companies use one on one's for the benefit of the subordinate employee to discuss their concerns, not as another conduit for the manager's message.

I believe Nvidia is a great company because he’s running it

[judymackenzie]

One on one has great value in coaching new talents

[lawrenceclemens]

I've been long on his company for eight years and continue to stay long in these crazed, troubling business times because Jensen is captain and steering this huge ship. He has phenomenal foresight and is always looking 10 years ahead, has the finest R&D, and is constantly focusing on opening up new markets. My trust in this company is my trust in him. He will never let Nvidia turn into a bubble that becomes another Cisco.

Smart man. Honest too. Wish every ceo was similar. Hope he can use some of his wealth to counter the damage that other ceos are currently doing to our country.

The man is a gem. All I have at my work is 1:1. And management clicks form. And nobody knows their ass from their elbow.

Good leader right there.. 2025 is the big differenc between leadership and bossing

[arasharian]

True leadership with the right moral compass and results to back it up🎊 People who work with and for him are lucky! 🎉

[thorna]

Right so at Nvidia he is talking to everyone in the entire organisation at all times whenever he says anything?? 😅😅

[jsjsjs]

The problem with this mindset is then u have too many people attending too many meetings.. A 1 hour meeting can be simplified into a 1 or 2 page document by 1 person for 10 people.

[wozmac]

This point has a lot of context behind it, I believe he talking about a business and product and technology strategy, not about 1:1 concerns about personal points. Although even those can be aired out within the team. If not, then why do people tell their headaches, mishaps and personal issues in public when planning to get time off, or someone to take over their work etc. And on a lighter note, he is welcome to tell us all how his bonus is structured.

[ronch]

Thing is, not everyone should hear about everything that goes on in the company.

[kavid]

People can say what they want but whatever he believes and tells his employees is obviously working. Look how far he’s come bro!! This is insane what we’re witnessing

[Murga_Mutton]

One on one is where all politics begins. The US v/s THEM starts.

[dragoshthebest]

1 on 1 implies the existance of an individual inside the company😂 good to know he treats all as equal ignorable 😂

[Pclav]

1:1 isn't to share information. It's to share feedback.

[morinkhuur]

Main point: communication. Eveybody knows and, as a result, less gossip. Eveyone is on the same page so no time is wasted guessing what's going on. Eastern vs Western philosophy. Working as a team. The parable of the Dragon boat race. 10 people rowing in sychronization vs. 10 individuals rowing by their own pace. The 10 person rowers all hear the caller at the head of the boat at the same time, so they all work in harmony, as opposed to the other rowers.
