One On Ones

This is one of the more practical management skills on the marketplace. It walks you through setting up 1:1 cadence based on team maturity, provides conversation frameworks that actually work (like the 70/90 listening rule), and includes question banks for different scenarios from onboarding to performance issues. The troubleshooting table alone is worth it, especially the "everything is fine" row. Built on Grove, Scott, and Lopp's work, so the methodology is solid. Use it when you're a new manager figuring out 1:1s, when yours have devolved into status updates, or when you need to prep for a difficult conversation. Claude generates the structure and scripts, you bring the relationship context and judgment calls.
