leadership

Prep for or log a 1:1 with a direct report — opens the running log, surfaces open commitments and standing topics, suggests questions if the slot needs more substance

Audit the calendar against the cadence-by-level standard — what to keep, redesign, async, kill. Quarterly use; sometimes triggered by a senior leader's "I can't get any work done."

Walk a material decision through the full structure — options, trade-offs, pre-mortem, dissent surfacing, decision log entry. Type-1 (one-way door) gets heavier analysis; Type-2 (two-way door) gets faster experimentation.

Coach me through delivering specific feedback — SBI structure, find the words, calibrate Radical Candor (caring directness, not obnoxious aggression)

Hiring workflow end-to-end — Performance Profile, sourcing plan, interview loop design, evidence-based debrief, close. Routes through the right phase based on where you are.
