Your check-list as a manager

To give you an idea of how and when to approach all the different topics, here's a checklist with a timeline when you are a line manager (and for you to check your manager of course :).

Daily

Give continued feedback and make notes

Check on a regular basis the output of each team member

Weekly

Have weekly one one one's with all team members

Check for sickness and holidays and keep track

Relate, care and check vibe/morale

If you are hiring: spend time on hiring

Give feedback using both the carrot and the stick

Monthly

Consider hiring new people

Quarterly

Do something fun with your team

Do personnel planning based on roadmap

Every 4 months

Have a performance review (see the

evaluations⁠

section)

Every year

Set business and personal goals for yourself and your team. Share this within your team. There is nothing more powerful than to hold people accountable for the goals that they set themselves.

One off's and ad hoc

Answer questions (and escalate if needed) regarding salary, budget, feedback, hiring, contracts.

Make a personal user guide and share it with your team
