# Growth & Feedback

How we develop people through conversations, feedback and work.

## 1:1s

A 1:1 is a regular private conversation between a person and their lead.

It is not another project WIP. We already have enough places to ask "how is the deck going?"

The default is 30 minutes weekly, especially while we are rebuilding the habit. Stable senior pairings can eventually adjust the cadence if both sides agree and the conversation remains useful.

The direct report should treat the meeting as partly theirs. Add topics before the session. Bring up workload, blockers, feedback, development, things that are going well, things that are annoying you, and anything you need from your lead.

Each pair keeps one living 1:1 document with the newest session at the top. The document is private between the direct report and supervisor unless both decide to share something from it or an issue genuinely needs escalation.

A useful 1:1 should leave at least one of these things clearer: how you are doing, what is getting in your way, what feedback you need, where you are growing, or what each person has committed to next.
