Default one-on-one structure

Some reports have strong opinions on how they like to spend their one-on-one time. Others are a little less opinionated. In that case, I show them this strucutre to see if it will work for them.

General updates:

  • How are you feeling?
  • Are you fulfilled at work?

Middle (should be added to doc ahead of time):

  • Address current issues, concerns with work
  • Address any feedback from team or manager
  • Talk through manager updates about team changes, team okrs, work going on outside of view

If none of the above/quarterly:

  • What are your current personal growth objectives? In 6 weeks? In 6 years?
  • What did you do this week that helped accomplish objectives?
  • Are there ways I can hold you accountable for those objectives?
  • If objectives are achieved, how should we celebrate?

If time allows, feedback for me (one of):

  • Is there something I can do to support you better?
  • What’s one thing this week that you think I could have done a better job of?
  • What’s something this week that I did that made you feel supported in your role?

Wrap up with any action items:

  • What should they be doing based on the conversation above?
  • What should you be doing based on the conversation above?
