I would hope that every discussion and project review helps people develop. I do coach for development on a sliding scale. I spend more time on it early in the year when it seems we have more time and less time on it as due dates for projects and goals are nearing.

Agreed Chris! It is a fluid approach for me too. There are times when it is more and times when we need to focus elsewhere. I only pay attention to ensure it doesn't drop from the discussions and it is a quality discussion for both parties and not just a mere tick in the box exercise.

I tend to spend most of our 1:1 time on Professional Development, unless the employee wants to talk through where they're at with their work and needs/ wants help. I try to make sure that people on my team use their current role/ work as an opportunity to develop themselves for their next role (while still delivering quality work). Together we think about what are the hard and soft skills needed at that next level, and determine how we can apply then today. If they've truly maxed out, then we'll talk about mentorship opportunities and other next steps

I try to have a "development-dedicated" 1x1 every month with my directs.

Interesting result here.  I was once with an organization which did much of the work in 1:1 and nothing was on MS teams or done out in the open.  The result was what I called 'information insanity' where some people had some information, no one had it all, no one knew who knew what, and no one get any development or feedback.  

The proposed solution was that anything is shared in an MS teams channel so that everyone can stay on the same page.  When work is done in the open like this, the work can more forward but the 1:1 can be freed up for individual development and solid connection

I recommend that you consider finding an outside third party to perform the audit.  I have had to do something similar with an unprofitable division/product line that reports directly to our CEO. We outsourced with Alvarez ...read more
