Although your manager is the one who schedules 1:1 meetings, the greatest benefits from these encounters are for you. This is a chance to have a dedicated space to talk about your needs, doubts or aspirations.
Acknowledging the importance of this meeting, we would like to offer you a list of questions you can use to prepare the agenda of your 1:1s in the best possible way.
Talking points aiming to:
-
Questions about our relationship and teamwork.
-
Questions about my personal and career development.
-
Questions about the team.
-
Questions about the company.
💡 Pro-tip. Don’t add too many talking points to the agenda, try to be concise and talk about what really matters. A 1:1 is not to discuss the status of your tasks, it’s the perfect moment to talk about what matters to you.
