WEEKLY 1:1's

Consistency over chaos.

Delegation only works when communication is consistent. Weekly check-ins aren't optional—they’re your strongest tool to keep things on track, spot issues early, and keep momentum flowing.

Why It Matters:

• Builds trust and rapport over time

• Prevents silent blockers from slowing progress

• Realigns expectations, priorities, and deliverables

• Creates rhythm—so you’re not stuck in constant fire-fighting

• Strengthens emotional connection, especially on remote teams

These conversations are small but mighty.

What to Include in Your Weekly 1:1s

A good 1:1 doesn’t need to be long—it just needs to be real. Here’s what to cover:

• Wins from the week – Big or small, celebrate progress

• Challenges or confusion – Clear the path for success

• Upcoming tasks or shifts in focus – Stay aligned on what’s next

• Personal check-in – How are they feeling about the role?

• Milestones to look forward to – Create motivation with short-term goals

Optional: Use a recurring agenda doc so both sides can add notes or topics beforehand

Bonus Tips:

Keep it structured—but human. Use a shared doc or running Notion page to track questions, topics, and weekly progress. It keeps things transparent, reduces rework, and helps both sides prep meaningfully.
