A User's Manual: To You

Your iPhone has one. So should you. Providing detailed instructions on how you operate can be a great dysfunction defuser. In your “Managerial User’s Manual,” you can describe your preferences, your style, what makes you apoplectic. After all, most bosses would claim, “Hey, I’m not toxic, just misunderstood.”
A user’s manual is a clear and concise document that communicates to others one’s motivations, work style, management and delegation style, communication and feedback style, learning and decision-making style, values, personal style, and any other information that can help reduce misunderstandings, accelerate mutual understanding and facilitate better collaboration with your team.
