The Engineering Manager's 1:1 & Growth System

You were a good engineer, so they made you a manager — and nobody handed you a system. Six one-to-ones a week, a third of them remembered, and a performance review every November reconstructed from the last six weeks.

This is the system: a 9-tab workbook that holds the record, and a 14-page playbook that tells you how to run it.

What's included:

• 1-1 Log — 200 rows for agendas, decisions, actions and a 1-5 energy read that flags itself

• Action Items — every promise, with an owner and a self-calculating overdue column

• Growth Evidence — the promotion packet, collected one line at a time all year

• Review Prep and Team Health — calculated per person; nothing typed

• Question Bank — 60 questions sorted by 12 real situations

• Skip-Level Notes — skips downward and your own 1:1 upward

• A 14-page PDF playbook with scripts, a review-writing sequence and a printable cheat sheet

For engineering managers, team leads and anyone running 3-10 one-to-ones a week. Works in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice and Numbers. No macros, no subscription.
