    Welcome to Iteration, a podcast about programming, development, and design. John Intro — My name is John and I am a software developer for a home services startup.JP Intro — Hi, I'm JP and I am a software developer.What makes a good 1:1 (IC perspective)?JP a manager who listensJP clear action items for problemsWhat makes a good 1:1 (Manager perspective)?John When reports are honest about motivations (I want more money, etc)John Clear feedback about my managementWhat makes a bad 1:1?JP when 1:1s just become another medium for standup updatesJP when 1:1s become a way for your manager to micromanageFormatWhat do you talk about?Basic framework John follows: private running doc between manager and report, either party can always add to it, reviewed on a regular cadence. I've found every 2 weeks to be really effective.This meeting is for building trust, context, sharing progress on goals, professional development things like that.Principles / conceptsFocus on the report — 1:1's are primarily for the report, the employee, not for the manager or the company.70/30 — Manager should be 70% listening less than 30% talking.Honesty — be direct. Forbidden conversations.Objective — Do the work to find objective examples, provide numbers and letter grades.Flexible — Don't overthink or over structure, let it flow, let report guide conversationMoneyball firing clipPicksJohn: https://www.chia.net/JP: Tailwind is coming out with official React support!
