Template: A Personal User Manual

A personal user manual isn’t your job description.

It’s a guide designed to help others understand how to work most effectively with you.

Think of it as an instruction manual for bringing out the best in your work, communication, and collaboration. It helps you explain how you work best, what conditions help you thrive, and the support you need to stay productive.

If you manage people and want to bring out the best in them, share this framework and consider their preferences. Your leadership skills will improve exponentially.

If you're an individual contributor, use this framework to identify what makes you a fulfilled high-performer versus what triggers anxiety and unproductivity.

I’ve done this exercise myself and created a template that you can use.
