I'm a new manager. Thanks so much for posting this .. it might be obvious but hits on issues I have faced with my team. I do have a question about the "writing down part". In my org, we do perf evals every 6 months. I do weekly 1-1s with my team members. When I course correct or communicate an expectation during a 1-1, what is an appropriate mechanism to document? Email is a bit byzantine .. most of our comms are on slack.

I'm really happy I was able to help somehow :) Regarding to "writing down part", I follow a strict stature to my 1-1s, which required the direct report and the manager to write down all the points and expectations, this help to reflect every week. Here you can find my template with some instructions: https://github.com/puemos/templates/blob/main/management/1on...

Keep a separate document with your report that you update in your 1:1s. Your report can also note questions, thoughts, etc. in this document that they want to discuss, for when you next meet.

Have one section for weekly now and one for goal setting.

I have used Google Drive in the past four this.
