Discussion on: How do YOU keep track of weekly 1:1s?

Outlook for the appointments and OneNote for the notes, since confluence is tricky, as any admin could read what I wrote in my notes, which sometimes include personal problems of my team members or other stuff that shouldn't be visible to anyone but me.

Does OneNote allow your team members to collaborate with the notes in any way? I'd love something where there's a mix of "private" and "public/collaborative" notes.

Yes, you can generate links and send them to people so they can see/edit private stuff if you allow it. But I ask every team member if they want to read the notes I take and some do, mostly when there's not enough trust yet or when they are insecure, I sometimes write down private notes, but that's mostly stuff I notice during the day or in meetings, that I later on use for 1on1s.

Btw, I don't do weekly 1on1s, It's mostly 2-4 weeks depending on experience of each team member - juniors tend to need more leadership ;)
