My One-on-One template (Google Docs): bit.ly/37MQXwK
1:17 - Basic structure and ground rules for 1-1s
3:34 - Question #1: What’s been on your mind this week?
4:25 - Question #2: When did you feel the most happy/productive in the last week?
5:22 - Question #3: Where did you feel friction in the last week? Specific meetings, conversations, and other interactions are all in-bounds.
7:12 - Question #4: What is amplifying the team’s productivity, and what’s dragging it?
9:52 - Question #5: What feedback do you have for me? Where can I lean in, and where can I lean out?

Good stuff! Thank you for sharing 😊
I like the idea to try to generate continuous feedback for peers. I'll add a couple of these questions to my template
Great analogies and great questions.
If you really look for problems deep enough, you will find too many to deal with. Otherwise 1:1's are just stupid status meetings and no one is going to be the one to complain because their is no positive reward for that. They just want the paycheck and for you to leave them alone.
I learned something valuable today thanks to you!
I just got promoted and I need this to have a good starting point.
Congrats on the promotion! Good luck.
These are all great questions, however, as a manager, I personally feel like we should also let team ask the questions they have in their mind. It is more like bidirectional conversation.
my manager always wants us to ask qstns :-)
Tengjiao Wang great suggestion!
Super helpful. Thanks.
No problem, Jatin!
What does an ideal manager should do post one on one conversation??
I always ask my 1-1s at the end of the call "is there anything you need me to focus on or action for you this week?" And if they give me tasks I put them on the stickie board.
I went to this vid on the basis of me being the subordinate lol. Was still helpful though.
Ha, glad it was helpful!
