Have The "Meta Conversation"

A "meta conversation" is a conversation about conversation. It's a conversation you should have with coworkers to discuss how you should communicate.

• How often do you want to meet?
• How often do you want feedback?
• What is your preference for written vs verbal updates, and the format?

You will be working with your manager and team for 100s of hours over the course of a year, so it's worth spending some time at the beginning of the relationship to understand how you can best work together.
