The development plan skips the person's choice
Ollie mentions an interest in presenting during his 1:1. Otto turns it into a development plan in which he must present at every review. Dana likes the orderly schedule, but Ollie wanted to try one supported session. The plan replaces a small experiment with a standing commitment before either person discusses what support would help.
Why it looked good
A schedule makes an interest look actionable. It can also turn a tentative idea into a continuing obligation that nobody chose.
Q1 · What is this really for?
Is the aim to try one supported presentation or create a recurring responsibility?
Q2 · Who decides, and did they?
Who decides the experiment and its support, and have Dana and Ollie agreed to the same scope?
The next move
Ollie and Dana name one trial session, its support, and a follow-up conversation before deciding whether to make it a recurring task.
