A user manual of me is a one-pager that documents how a person works at their best — preferred communication channel, when they peak in the day, how they like to receive feedback, what drains them. Sharing them out loud accelerates a team relationship by months.
How to run it
- 1
Send the template a week ahead with five prompts: how I communicate, how I make decisions, what drains me, how I recover, what I wish people knew.
- 2
On the day, give each person three minutes to walk the team through their answers.
- 3
Listeners may ask one clarifying question only.
- 4
Collect the manuals into a shared doc that new joiners read in week one.
