Skip Level Meeting Guide for Leaders

I think what gets lost is that it's your 1:1, not the manager's. Same when you go to a skip level.

If they are the one driving the agenda it is indeed probably going to be a waste of time.

This cartoon is a useful prompter for different things to think about going into them:

So looking at that list,

We have group meetings to cover the majority of:

- What's going well

- What's not going well

- Team priorities

- Brainstorm

My boss in general doesn't really give feedback.

And the answers "Ask for opportunities", "Career Planning", and "Ask for extra resources" is basically, "This is the job, if you want something else, go find a new job"

I did manage to get a raise and a few extra responsibilities by going out and getting a job offer at a different company.

I think probably the real answer is that my job is a dead end and probably an unhealthy environment to have spent so much time in.

But also I have outstanding work-life balance, which is my highest priority at the moment with three young kids at home.

In a couple years maybe that changes.
