Random chats aren’t leadership—
This is what real 1:1s look like:
1-on-1s shouldn’t be random check-ins—
They should be a system that
builds clarity, trust, and growth.
Here’s how to make them work:
Daily
🟡 Write your top 3 tasks for tomorrow
🟡 Note 1 blocker or question you have
🟡 Track your energy level and one win
Weekly
🟠 Start with last week’s wins + 3 new goals
🟠 Ask: “What’s in your way this week?”
🟠 Each trade one piece of feedback
Monthly
🔴 Talk about clarity, growth, and energy
🔴 Set a small goal with a clear next step
🔴 Review what’s working and what’s not
Try this 3-part 1:1 rhythm:
1️⃣ Daily: Quick notes on wins, blocks, and focus
2️⃣ Weekly: Feedback and fast problem-solving
3️⃣ Monthly: Big-picture clarity and growth
Great 1:1s don’t need more time —
They need a better reason to meet.
Clarity builds momentum.
Trust builds performance.
Great 1:1s build both.
