Personal User Manual Guide

Help your team collaborate and connect better with Personal User Manuals

The best teams are built on a foundation of trust and mutual understanding. But we don't always take the time to learn how our colleagues prefer to work, communicate, and collaborate. A Personal User Manual is a simple, powerful tool for changing that while improving the average level of psychological safety on a team.

This guide helps create clear, honest 'how-to' references for working with teammates. It's not about creating a set of rigid rules, but rather about sharing preferences and needs in a way that helps teammates get the best out of each other and collaborate more effectively. By building your own manual, you not only improve your teamwork but also deepen your own self-awareness.

The guide includes...

  • Complete instructions to rolling it out in an organization with advice and a timeline
  • A template to create manuals describing collaboration styles, communication preferences, and more
  • Tips to maximize the culture-changing potential of these manuals
