WHY MACORVAOne-on-one Meeting Template (Free Download)
A great 1-on-1 is the most valuable meeting on a manager's calendar — but only when it's more than a status update. This free template gives managers a ready-to-use agenda, a bank of questions, and a built-in follow-up tracker to keep every 1-on-1 focused, employee-led, and tied to real outcomes across every meeting, not just quarterly reviews.
What's inside the template:
Meeting Snapshot: Attendees, date, and cadence; the context that keeps 1-on-1s consistent and on the calendar.
Wins & Progress: A place to capture recent wins and check progress on last meeting's action items, so momentum carries forward.
Agenda & Talking Points: A shared, employee-led agenda so the conversation reflects what's actually on their mind, not just the manager's.
Questions to Ask: A ready-made bank of questions across check-in, workload, growth, and feedback; no more winging it in the moment.
Blockers & Support: Where the employee flags what's getting in the way and exactly what they need to move forward.
Action Items & Follow-Up: Owners and due dates carried to the next meeting, so decisions turn into progress you can see.
