1-on-1 meetings with your Team

Nice post. Two more items that I like to mix into 1:1 agendas, not necessarily every meeting though:

1. What do you need from me (as your manager) to accomplish the top objectives?

2. What do you need from me for your personal dev and growth?

3. What do you need from the teams to accomplish the top objectives?

I strongly second this, and thinking making sure they have an outlet for concerns/ideas about career growth and other interpersonal, HR, culture or other "soft" things from time to time is important too. It's amazing how easy it is to go a year without bringing any of this up, only to have someone give notice when it could have been avoided through a few important if perhaps slightly uncomfortable conversations.

I'd also make some room for praise, given in private and in detail.
