Weekly 1:1 Success Guide

A New Hire’s Guide to Starting a Strong Relationship With Your Manager

Your first few weeks in a new job are about more than learning your responsibilities. You’re also learning how your manager communicates, what they expect, how decisions get made, and what it takes to be successful on the team.

The Weekly 1:1 Success Guide gives you a simple structure for making those weekly conversations more productive, purposeful, and useful for both of you.

Instead of simply reporting what you did that week, you’ll learn how to use your 1:1 to get clear, ask better questions, identify what you need, receive feedback, address roadblocks, and gradually take more ownership of your role.

Inside the Guide, You’ll Learn How To:

·       Prepare for your weekly 1:1 so you can make the most of your time with your manager

·       Get clear on expectations so you’re not left guessing what “good” looks like

·       Identify the kind of support you need—whether that’s direction, coaching, support, or greater autonomy

·       Bring challenges to your manager before they become bigger problems

·       Ask for meaningful feedback without waiting for an annual review

·       Give your manager helpful feedback, too

·       Clarify priorities and next steps

·       Build trust and strengthen your working relationship

·       Recognize when you’re ready to take greater ownership
