Once a week, usually about 20-45 minutes depending on how much there is to discuss. Basically just a powwow with my Director, talking in general about how stuff is going personal/professionally/company wide stuff. Talk strategy, what's working, what could change, etc. Never any pressure tbh, probably depends on who your manager is though.
maybe a different angle to the question. What would you change, if anything, to improve or make better your 1:1?
1:1s are my favorite of the week. We meet weekly and catch up. Talk about how things are going professionally and strategize and it’s a time I can use to update them on anything I might be struggling with mentally and gain some perspective. I find 1:1s very valuable. It really just depends on who you’re reporting to though. Last leader I had was not empathetic and just regurgitated whatever his leaders would tell him as an attempt to motivate and was not a great listener. Came across like he had some issues with his ego. So the meetings weren’t productive bc eventually I stopped sharing the real issues I was having and just acted like everything was gravy to avoid feeling invalidated or unheard.
For me personally and I know this is NOT the case for everyone. I think scheduled 1:1’s are useless. I work independently and get my job done above and beyond. If I get stuck and need help, I will reach out to my manager. If I am not calling or texting you, then all is going good. No need for any extra meetings during the busy week. You hired a pro and thats what you got. This will allow a manager or director to focus on what they need to focus on for their job. This is a hard concept for some who I report to.
I was always this way, even in high school. My parents never had to check on my homework and grades. I just did my thing.
Once a week with my manager + my direct reports. If there is nothing meaningful to discuss, we keep it short. Usually we catch up for about one hour about deals, clients, company changes… For me it is valuable.
We did them once a month with my manager to go over our performance for the month and just basically chit chat
We usually have it at the end of the week to go over our progress and find out where we're lacking. I find it helpful as this is usually where we strategize on how to improve our work performance.
