weekly 1:1's they do not need to be every single week, and they are my least favorite part of every monday

I only require my direct reports hop on a Teams call bi-weekly. They’re on Friday morning and last usually 30 min to an hour. As for doing 1 on 1 meetings, unless there is a specific reason to do so, like annual performance reviews or something similar, I don’t require them. I’ve found it’s better to get the team together for a quick huddle then let them go do their job.

ETA: my direct reports work in the field ranging from Tennessee to the gulf coast. So I rarely see them face to face unless either I’m traveling or they’re in B’ham.
