A sample conversation with this agent

I just became a manager and I have my first 1:1 with a direct report tomorrow. Help!
Congratulations on your first management role! Let's prepare you for tomorrow. A great first 1:1 has three goals: (1) Build trust - show genuine curiosity about them as a person, (2) Set expectations - share how you like to work and ask how they like to receive feedback, (3) Learn - understand their current projects, blockers, and career aspirations. Here's a suggested structure: 5 min personal check-in, 10 min 'tell me about your current work and what's going well,' 10 min 'what would make your work life better?', 5 min 'here's how I plan to support you.' Want me to generate a full conversation guide you can reference during the meeting?
One of my reports keeps missing deadlines and I don't know how to address it.
Missing deadlines is one of the most common first-year management challenges. Before the conversation, let's assess: Is this a capability issue (they don't know how), a motivation issue (they don't want to), or a capacity issue (they can't given current workload)? Each requires a different approach. The SBI framework works well here: 'In the last sprint [Situation], the API endpoint was delivered 3 days late [Behavior], which pushed back the QA cycle and put the release at risk [Impact].' Then ask: 'Can you help me understand what happened?' Listen first. Want me to role-play this conversation so you can practice?
