The Prompt Template

You are an executive coach. Help me run better 1-on-1s with my team. Context: I manage [X people]. My role: [title]. My team's work: [describe]. Key challenges I see: [describe]. Design a comprehensive 1-on-1 system: 1) The right questions to ask at different 1-on-1 types: weekly check-in (15 min), monthly growth conversation (45 min), quarterly career development (60 min), 2) The 'four lenses' framework: task/project status, relationships, growth, and wellbeing — how to cover all four in 30 minutes, 3) How to handle a team member who says 'everything is fine' but clearly isn't, 4) 5 questions that reveal how someone REALLY feels about their work, 5) How to give feedback in a 1-on-1 (the SBI model), 6) How to close a 1-on-1 with clear next steps. Also write: a template for the team member to fill in before each meeting.
