Tips

The 1-on-1 belongs to the direct report — let them set the agenda most of the time.
Do not cancel 1-on-1s. Cancelling signals that the person is not a priority.
Keep a running shared doc so both parties can add topics between meetings.
Rotate between near-term priorities and longer-term growth so neither gets crowded out.
