Our team-leads have 1:1s every 6 months with their team-members. Every team-lead has 3 to 8 people they 'manage', although managing in this case means keeping them informed and supporting their professional development. The 1:1 is mostly about ways to improve and setting goals in personal development (what to learn next, attending a rhetorics-seminar etc.) and defining the necessary steps to become senior/principal/etc. Also we elect our team-leads once a year. I'm surprised to see so many companies where weekly is the norm.
