1:1 Meeting Agenda Template

Turn your 1:1s from status updates into the half hour your team actually counts on.

If your 1:1 sounds like a pipeline review, you've got a status meeting with a nicer name. A 1:1 is where you hear that someone is burning out before they resign, and where a customer risk comes up while there's still time to fix it.

I used to tell my team, "Never wait until the one-on-one." If something is important, tell me now. That rule only works when the 1:1 has a different job. This shared agenda gives both people a place to prepare: a 1 to 10 week sentiment, a personal update, wins with their impact, priorities written as outcomes, blockers, questions, feedback in both directions, growth notes, action items with owners and a sentiment trend across weeks. The guide includes a 30-minute meeting flow and what each person should do before the meeting.
