I am about 6mo into a job with weekly 1:1s, and am coming from a job that did them every other week. I am always excited for my weekly 1:1. As a disclaimer, my boss scheduled a weekly 30min 1:1 when I started, but with the caveat that we could make it less often if I found it not useful. He just preferred weekly during the "settling in" phase. Almost without fail, our 1:1s go over time, totaling between 45min and 1hr. I can't imagine how my boss finds the time, but I so appreciate that he does. I keep a pinned slack message in our DM, of priority-ordered things to discuss. Often these are things like: - Something went wrong this week. How did I do? How could I have performed better? - I noticed something unhealthy with our team, how can we fix it? - You did something that surprised me as a manager, what was your thought process (this is sometimes critical feedback, sometimes curiousity) - Is this thing I want to do a good idea? - Debrief on progress (or lack thereof) on a predefined goal. - Help me with this stupid HR/Expense report thing And the list always ends with: - leave space for <BOSS> to discuss things he wants This is easily the most valuable growth time of my week. I appreciate my IC time to do an excellent job, but the 1:1s help me pick my head up and think about bigger things.
