Do you recommend doing one on ones with a summer intern? They will be around for a couple of months, they report to me but most of their work is being directed by one of my directs.

Good thought. She would be capable, but they are really working side by side in a setting where they are chit chatting while doing manual work, so I am not sure about that they need a one on one in the same way.

I second the comments about using this as an opportunity for your direct to learn about doing O3s. I am in the middle of this very same thing and my direct is making a huge step toward becoming a permanent supervisor - both in skill and confidence.
