Some topics you can consider are (put together by Jace Proctor):
1:1s
- Describe a typical 1:1 with this person.
- Do you struggle to fill time?
- Do they typically come prepared? What does that look like for them?
- Do they reschedule a lot? Do you reschedule a lot?
- Do they seem enthusiastic and interested in 1:1s, or are they showing up and checking a box?
- What’s the balance of “work stuff” versus “life stuff” versus “goofing off” in your 1:1s?
- How would you improve 1:1s with this person if you could wave a magic wand?
Team dynamics

- Did they step into any leadership work, like running rituals or being a team lead?
- What kind of glue work do they typically do, if any?
