Weekly 1-on-1's with every one I manage. We go for a walk and get lunch or coffee and talk.

Managing deliverables is much easier than managing people. Simply tell them when something needs to be done, get a commitment to it, and track it anywhere shared (whiteboard, trello, jira, or whatever).

Weekly 1on1 OUTSIDE of the office: I cannot agree more. This is the best management tool out there. It has to be outside of the office (else you'll have nothing to talk about and cut the meeting short).
