Top 10 1-1 Templates

Prioritize your team's personal and professional growth. Set goals, track progress, and provide meaningful feedback that drives success.

What Should 1-1 Templates Include?

Choosing the right 1-1 template in Notion can streamline your meetings and enhance productivity. Here are key components to look for when selecting a template:

  1. Clear Objectives: The template should have a dedicated section for defining the meeting's goals, ensuring both parties are aligned and focused.

  2. Feedback Mechanisms: Look for templates that include structured ways to provide and document feedback, which is essential for growth and development.

  3. Action Items: A section for action items with deadlines helps track progress and accountability, making the meetings more effective.

  4. Follow-up Features: Good templates should facilitate scheduling follow-ups directly within the document to ensure continuous engagement and issue resolution.

Selecting a template with these components will not only improve the efficiency of your 1-1s but also foster a constructive dialogue and a clear path forward.

What Should 1-1 Templates Avoid?

Choosing the right 1-1 template in Notion is as much about what it doesn't include as what it does. Here are three key components to steer clear of:

  1. Overly Complex Structures: Avoid templates with complicated frameworks that can confuse and detract from the main purpose of the meeting.

  2. Irrelevant Metrics: Templates should not include irrelevant performance metrics that do not align with the specific goals of the 1-1 meeting.

  3. Fixed, Non-Customizable Sections: A rigid template that doesn't allow for adjustments can hinder the flow of conversation and fail to meet specific needs.

Ultimately, the best 1-1 templates are those that facilitate open communication and are tailored to the unique dynamics of the participants.

9First 1:1 Questionnaire

Lara Hogan writes: "In the last few years, I’ve had the pleasure of kicking off lots of new reporting relationships with both engineers and engineering managers. Over time, I’ve learned that getting some particular data during an initial 1:1 can be really helpful, as I can refer back to the answers as I need to give a person feedback, recognize them, and find creative ways to support them."
