Once a week is a lot in the age of Slack. I talk to my people asynchronously all the time, so the one-on-one is less important. Still do it though.

I'll tell my single Golden Rule for managing people is to make sure they always know what's expected of them. Not knowing what's expected of you is probably the single greatest source of stress.

An even bigger source of stress is asking questions to try to understand what is expected of you and being told that your leader is confident that you understand what is expected of you.
Agreed. Plus, Sometimes 1-1s usually happens when things are going bad. When things are good no one even remembers.
