Prepare for a 1:1 so it drives outcomes instead of becoming a status update. Use when asked to prep for a one-on-one, build a 1:1 agenda, prepare to talk to your manager (or a report), or raise something hard in a 1:1. Produces a focused 1:1 agenda — your top topics with the outcome you want for each, the asks, updates kept brief, and growth/feedback threads, tuned to direction (with your manager vs. with a report).
📚 Based on High Output Management (Andy Grove)
What to give it
▸Direction — prepping for a 1:1 with your manager (managing up) or with your report (managing down)? The agenda differs.
▸What's on your mind — blockers, decisions, tensions, wins, career topics (rough notes are fine).
▸Anything time-sensitive — or any hard thing you've been avoiding raising.
▸Last 1:1's follow-ups — , if any.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Topics lead with a desired **outcome**, not a status recap
✓At least one explicit **ask** is named
✓Status is condensed to a few bullets (the rest written/linked)
✓Feedback flows both ways, and is specific and actionable
✓A growth/career thread is kept on the agenda, not just the urgent stuff
✓The agenda is tuned to direction (managing up vs. down)
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not turn the 1:1 into a status report — status belongs in writing; use the live time for decisions, feedback, and growth
Do not avoid the hard topic — name it, framed constructively; the 1:1 is the safest place to raise it
Do not arrive without an ask — "anything you need?" wastes the leverage
Do not let career/growth fall off when things are busy — it's the first thing dropped and the most costly
Do not over-pack — 3 real topics beat 10 skimmed
