Most people wing their 1:1s with their manager and then feel shocked at year-end when their performance review feels ‘off’. Your 1:1s impact your rating, your visibility, and the opportunities you get assigned. And NO! Your manager is not responsible for driving that meeting. YOU are. High performers treat their 1:1s like a weekly opportunity to: Show their impact Clarify expectations Build trust Document wins Ask for feedback early And position themselves for growth Your 1:1 is NOT a casual check-in. It’s a career-advancing conversation… IF you take control of it. Save this and use it as a guide for your next meeting. Small improvements in how you show up weekly can completely transform your review next year.
