A manager's workspace. Every team member's work style, conversation history, annual goals, and private notes — all in one place.
What the Conversation Guide gives you
Every conversation with a team member has context: how that person thinks, where they draw energy from, what you're working on, and what you talked about last time. The Guide holds that context for you.
Each team member completes ProType themselves and decides on their own whether to share the result. Their work style becomes the shared language of your conversations — a basis for understanding how that person works, not a label that boxes them in.
Conversation structure, the history of past meetings, and work-style context at hand. You pick up where you left off — not from scratch.
From week one, a new team member has a starting point for talking about how they like to work — before you learn it by trial and error.
A conversation rhythm that doesn't fall off the calendar. You see who you met with last — and who has been waiting longest for their turn.
Where work styles on the team complement each other, and where friction naturally shows up. Language for the conversation about tensions you already see.
Goals tied to a specific team member, visible in every conversation. They don't get lost in a spreadsheet nobody opens until December.
You write down what was decided and share it with your team member. One shared version of the takeaways instead of two that start drifting apart after a week.
Wins recorded as they happen, next to the people behind them. When it's time to recognize someone, you reach for specifics — not a generic 'good job.'
Your observations and threads to raise — visible only to you. A manager's memory that doesn't fail between meetings.
Who it's for
The Conversation Guide is being built for people who lead others and want their conversations to change something.
Your first leadership role means dozens of conversations no one prepared you for. The Guide gives you structure: how to run the conversation, what to ask, how to read the differences in work styles on your team. A frame instead of improvisation.
You run a team alongside your own work. Your notes live in three places, and your annual goals sit in a spreadsheet you open once a quarter. The Guide ties the conversation rhythm, goals, and observations into one order — attached to people, not files.
You manage through other leaders, so you have less direct contact with their teams. The Guide gives you a shared language with your managers and better context for conversations about how each of them leads their team.
