Thanks for sharing Julie!

I recalled the book "Radical Candor", sometimes we just ignore the other person's perspective, and that's key to shape our message and communication style. It also applies to friends and even our partner. So, I will apply your template and let's see what comes next 😅

Thanks for sharing. I tried a similar thing with a different template, it got me positive feedback from DRs and some Team Leads. Though on the way I learned that the majority of people in middle and higher management tend to feel intimidated by the shown level of openness. On the other hand, with C-Level it seems to work quite well.

+1 on this template Julie & Lenny! Additional topics I find helpful:

- How do you make decisions?

- What gains and drains your energy?

A great post, a user guide once shared with peers and colleagues, improves trust and confidence, and automatically enhances relationships. That's been my experience
