What's a "user manual"?
User manuals are a tool to help our coworkers understand us better. Simply put, it's a personal profile that includes probing questions about a person's communication style, direction on how they like to receive feedback, and how they approach conflict. After creating these profiles, our managers and coworkers can reference the manual to guide the way they work with us.
Testimonial for user manuals
"I learned some practical tips about how to deal with my co-workers. When my immediate neighbor wears headphones, I now know she doesn’t want to be disturbed (sorry, Sarah!). Corinne is on the west coast, and at times is offline managing child care, so it’s helpful to know when she’s out of reach, and that she can feel cut off from the rest of us."
—Oliver Staley in Quartz
