A practical template

Working
with me.

A guide you fill in and share with the people you work with. Explain what you do, how to reach you and how you make decisions.

A blank template and a fictional example to help you begin.

Inside the template

What to include.

What work do I own? What can people rely on me for?

Which channel works for routine updates? How should someone flag something urgent?

When do I need uninterrupted time? When can people expect a response?

Which decisions can people make themselves? When should they involve me?

Bring one problem, three possible solutions and one chosen solution. Explain why you chose it.

How can someone challenge me, give difficult feedback and resolve a misunderstanding?

Read each other’s guides. Ask what needs clarification. Update yours when your role, circumstances or ways of working change.
