Report Agenda Ownership in One-on-Ones

In an effective one-on-one meeting, the direct report owns the agenda, and their topics must be addressed before the team lead introduces any items. When a manager co-opts the agenda, the conversation tends to regress into a task status review, discouraging the report from bringing forward genuine issues or career development interests.
