The prompt
My manager and I keep missing each other, and I want to work better with them. Ask me up to six questions, one at a time, about what they ask me for most, how they like to get information, what pressure they’re under from above, and the last time something between us went wrong. Then write me a one-page guide: what they seem to care about most, what they probably need from me and aren’t getting, and three changes to how I keep them informed. You’re hearing one side about a person you’ve never met, so mark each point as something I told you or your guess, and don’t assume I’m the reasonable one. End with one question I could simply ask them. Be direct. No padding and no reassurance I did not ask for.
