Erm, so what should we talk about? Just like meeting any human being for the first time, your first 1 to 1 can go in a multitude of different ways. You might be lucky enough to instantly gel with your direct report; the conversation flows and away you go. Equally, you might be unlucky enough to both sit down, stare at each other and not really know what to say. Depending on people's experience within their career and the current organization, their cultural background, and their personality in general, they may approach this meeting in different ways.
