1:1 Meeting Kit for Managers | Agenda, Question Bank, Tracker (PDF)

Your 1:1s turn into status updates. Twenty minutes of "all fine", and you still don't know what's really going on. Then one week it's a resignation, or a problem you hear about last.

The 1:1 Meeting Kit turns the weekly 1:1 into the meeting where you hear what's actually getting in their way. It takes ten minutes to set up, and it works for a team of two or twenty.

THE IDEA
Their agenda first, one real question, one action each.

WHAT YOU GET (one PDF, 10 A4 pages)
- The 30-minute format, and a 15-minute version for shifts
- Your first 1:1 with someone: the opening, five questions and the close
- A 20-question bank, grouped by what you need to find out: how they really are, what's blocking them, what the work is telling them, how you're doing as their manager, where they want to grow, and whether they're thinking of leaving
- A printable agenda sheet, one per 1:1
- A follow-up tracker for the whole team on one page
- When 1:1s go wrong: six common problems and what to do
- An AI prompt for spotting patterns, with privacy rules

WHO IT IS FOR
Managers whose 1:1s have drifted into status updates, and new managers setting them up for the first time.

HOW IT WORKS
This is a digital download. Nothing is posted to you. After you pay, Etsy gives you the PDF to download, and you can print it at home or use it on screen. It is a PDF to print or read, not an editable spreadsheet.

GOOD TO KNOW
I used AI to help draft and structure the kit, then reviewed and edited it myself. I have spent the best part of twenty years in leadership roles, from supervisor to senior manager.
