1:1S ARE BEING RUN WRONG

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Status update 1:1s are a waste of everyone's time, and the fix is simpler than you think. The shift that matters is moving from "what did you do this week" to questions that uncover blockers, ambitions, and candid feedback - the things people will not volunteer in a group setting. A well-run 1:1 builds trust, surfaces problems weeks before they escalate, and develops your team in ways that compound as you scale. Getting this cadence right early creates a management culture that becomes a genuine competitive advantage.
