Key Features:
1. Strategic Question Framework: Built around carefully crafted questions like "What's top of mind?" that consistently unlock meaningful conversations and uncover real challenges
2. Outcome-Focused Structure: Guides conversations from reflection to action with sections for discussing ideal outcomes, pathways to success, and specific support needed
3. Actionable Feedback Loop: Closes each session with reflection on the meeting's value, ensuring continuous improvement in your 1:1 practice
Perfect for:
- Managers looking to build stronger relationships with their teams

Whether you're a new manager or a seasoned leader, this template helps you create the psychological safety needed for honest conversations while maintaining the structure required for productive outcomes. It transforms your 1:1s from casual check-ins into powerful tools for professional development and team alignment.
Based on the principle that great 1:1s need both structure (from the manager) and content (from the report), this template creates the perfect foundation for meaningful professional relationships and continued growth.
