How can I convince my supervisor that this is a good idea? I have tried to set up a time with him every week, and he sticks to it for a while, but it soon goes by the wayside.
As an employee this tells me a number of things that are not desireable, so should I continue to press the point or do you think there are other issues underneath the surface that need to be addressed?

Getting YOUR director supervisor to conduct 1 O 1's
Mark is absolutely right on this one. My boss thought that O3's were cute and said that it would pass when I started doing them. Now he is doing them. Sometimes an example speaks louder than anything else.

Well said. I need to go back and find that podcast, but I think you have just given me the gist of it from what I can see here and in another forum topic where you said almost the same thing.
That is very helpful, thank you.
