Find the kit that fits the conversation, meeting, or assignment in front of you.
Read the guide, edit a Word tool, or print a worksheet. Adapt it to your workplace.
Use the conversation to agree on the action, the owner, and when to check back.
Try a starting point
You need a clear place to start. Here are three original examples to adapt to your situation.
“We agreed on Tuesday, and the work is still open. What got in the way? Let’s agree on the next step, new deadline, and when you’ll flag a risk sooner.”
“I want to talk privately about something I observed. Here’s what happened. What was going on from your perspective?”
“Before we wrap up, what are you taking forward, what am I taking forward, and when will we check back?”
Original ManagerWordsCo examples, not paid-product excerpts. Use observed facts and your workplace’s approved process.
