The Relational Agreement

A simple way to agree how your 1:1s will actually work.

Most 1:1s drift into status updates. Nobody ever said what the time is for, what's okay to raise, or what happens when something needs to go further. So the hard stuff waits until it's a problem.

The Relational Agreement is a conversation you have with each person in your team, then come back to. Together you work through:

• Why your 1:1s exist and how you'll each show up
• Safety, confidentiality and its limits, and how escalation works
• The no surprises principle, so big feedback never comes out of nowhere
• How you'll give feedback and raise the harder topics
• How often you'll meet, the format, and what you'll focus on
• Current priorities, growth goals and what support looks like right now

You both sign it and set a review date. Small step, big shift in trust.
