When you're having a 1:1 with your DRs, do you expect them to drive the agenda? I like to give mine space to talk about any of their issues, wins, etc, but I feel as their manager it's important to bring some of my own guidance/feedback and topics. How do you approach it?

I strongly prefer for my directs to drive the agenda. In general, I think of it as dedicated time for them to get anything they need from me. However, with low performers who hide things and won't communicate, I have had to drive those in the past.

I typically set the agenda, more so guidelines to direct the conversation for them to share. This way they don’t stress about it. I outline a few things for them and send it ahead of time - Growth: highlights and lowlights of their role; Communication: how they feel they are doing with clients/internal folks; Personal: how are they doing/what are they doing to take care of themselves/family out of work and lastly anything I can be doing to help them better. If I have feedback for them I usually do it somewhere in there 😊

Yeah, I let them steer the ship. If they don't have much to talk about, we keep it short. If they would like advice, guidance, or direction, I provide it. But I don't want to tell them what they feel like they should or shouldn't be talking about.

Looking for a Christmas present for my girlfriend. Would like to stay under $250 (I’m a 1st year staff shes in grad school so don’t have much money). She likes gold — I’m thinking of getting her a necklace, which I believe I can only get gold plated in my price range. Does anyone have any suggestions of good brands to buy? First time looking at jewelry websites and they seem kinda gimmicky and would like one I can trust and get good quality. Thank you!
