Start from history
- What happened in the last 1:1?
- What action item is still open?
- What context changed since then?
Template
Manager prep for 1:1 meetings
Prep should take a manager back into the thread quickly: last meeting, open commitments, coaching context, and the one thing that should not be missed.
Copyable template
Use this manually, or let EvalSuite capture it automatically from real meetings.
Choose the focus
- What is the most useful topic today?
- What question would create clarity?
- What feedback should not wait?
Plan the close
- What follow-up might need an owner?
- What should I remember next time?
- What should become coaching or review context?
How to use this template
Use the prompts to make the next manager action explicit. The goal is not a perfect document; it is a short record that helps the next conversation start with context.
Keep it tied to the real manager loop
EvalSuite prep surfaces reuse existing signals like prior records, open action items, teammate context, manager memory, and meeting intelligence instead of asking the manager to rebuild the agenda from scratch.
What should survive
Keep the question to ask, open item to revisit, context shift, and coaching focus. Skip generic agenda filler that will not change the conversation.
Workflow example
A manager opens the teammate workspace before a 1:1, reviews the carried-forward action item and last manager memory, then chooses the next coaching question.
Example output
The visible output should be concrete enough to inspect.
- One priority topic
- Open action item to revisit
- Recent context that changed
- Coaching question for the manager
