- Highlights from the last week
- Team is excited about the preorder marketplace - had a great meeting with Bob on the sales motion to get brands on board
- Finally got my new couch!
- Issues
- No action from you needed, just an FYI: Launch of style quiz is delayed because the recommendation engine isn't ready yet
- Next time, will keep a closer eye on data science bandwidth — I save most FYI issues for status update over email UNLESS it's an item I know they're keen on
- Topics / Updates / Questions
- [Topic]
- New org structure — get ahead of changes you know are coming
- Positioning of preorder marketplace — de-risk big assumptions you're making by sharing your thought process and getting their feedback
- Career ladder — if you don't have career-specific 1:1s, good to sync monthly on where you are today vs. next steps
- [Question]
- What's top of mind? — get a pulse on what's most important
- When you gave feedback on the sign-up redesign, what questions were critical for you to know? — train your intuition on what gets them to yes
- How did you decide on design version B? — absorb their thought process
- If you were me right now, what would you be doing differently? — uncover blind spots
- What can I take off your plate? — if you have bandwidth / they seem particularly stressed
- Feedback (live feedback)
- From Manager >> You
- Like
- that you're pushing ahead with preorder marketplace - impressed with the way you're handling a massive project
- Wish that
- you spent more time thinking about all the stakeholders to bring along, Jess and Erin reached out to me separately with questions that are better for you to answer — best to take immediate action on feedback, and give an update in your next 1:1 to check that you're on the right track
- From You >> Manager
- Like
- that you previewed the new org structure with the team **
- Wish that
- you socialized it with people ahead of the team meeting. Some people were taken aback and didn't know it was still a draft
- Deliverables — I move this to the bottom if there aren't any rollover deliverables
- From last 1:1
- Copy/paste the previous week’s section on “Deliverables to next meeting”, then cross off those that were completed. For those not completed, explain why and either agree to deprioritize or roll into this week’s “Deliverables to next meeting”
- To next 1:1
- Fill in the things that need to be accomplished before the next meeting
- Include any action items or follow-ups generated during the 1:1
- Roll forward any remaining follow-up items
