On weekly 1:1
published on 2024/05/16
1/ Weekly 1:1s with direct reports are a staple of Silicon Valley management. The idea is to check in, see how they're doing, and provide feedback. I did this for 10+ years at Facebook & Dropbox. Frankly, I hated it and found it useless. But it's what "good" managers did.

Worth thinking about. We do weekly slack check-in but no weekly 1:1 meeting. Meetings needs to be justified.
