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 stepsContent you might like

One thing I do is include them in the meetings about the changes that will take place and get their opinion. I also lay out the pros and cons of the changes and how it will effect us as a team moving forward.
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.
