1:1 Meeting Agenda Template (Manager or Report)

1:1s need a spine, not a script

Skip the awkward “so… how’s it going?” Open with a shared skeleton. Own your section; leave space for theirs.

• Send or paste highlights after — even a short summary builds trust.
• Keep sensitive HR topics in the official system, not a personal scratch pad forever.
• Local notepad = good for private prep on your laptop before the call.
