Improving your 1:1's as an EM

Circle Description

How do you get to know and understand each of the individuals on your team without falling into the trap of the same old status update questions (or you talking the whole time!)? This circle will give you lots of tips and tactics on how to have great 1:1's with your team. More about the circle leader: Hi Friends! I've been working in the software industry for over 25 years as an engineer, a product manager, an engineering manager at various levels and with lots of different team sizes, and now I'm back at the United States Digital Service for a second tour of duty as a general technologist/solver of gnarly problems. Fundamentally, I'm just a person who builds things, builds teams, and builds teams who build things -- I care deeply about the people building things and the people for whom they're solving problems. I've worked with numerous technologies, methodologies, and development practices over the years -- believe me, I have stories -- and at the end of the day it's all just about people. I'm looking forward to meeting you!
