How to use this sheet
  1. Keep the time fixed. Reschedule if you must, never cancel, and do not shorten it.
  2. Open with something that is not a task: a specific appreciation, a recent success.
  3. Work the agenda: urgent items, then standing ones, then follow-ups from last time.
  4. Listen more than you talk: their work, their concerns, their development.
  5. Close on purpose: thank them, summarise, confirm the next date before you stand up. Notes are for your reference only.
