Claude for Managers: The Working Manager's Guide to One AI Assistant

What is each person on your team working on this week, in one line each?

How much of Friday's status report could you write without opening a single document?

Which of your recurring meetings would be missed if you cancelled it tomorrow?

What may your team put into an AI tool, and what must never go in?

If you had to pause on any of these, this book is the diagnostic and the fix.

The answers exist, scattered across threads, documents and calendars nobody has assembled - and theassembling is the week. An assistant does not fix that by itself; used badly, it produces faster versions of work thatshould have been cancelled. This book is the used-well version: twenty chapters, each with the words to type andwhat to check before you trust the answer.

Templates that answer each question:

• The Week Audit sheet
• The Only-a-Manager List
• The Three-Line Rule
• The Anonymisation Pass
• The Preparation Sheet for one-to-ones
• The Delegation Brief
• The Decision and Owner Log
• The Weekly Status Skeleton

60 ready-to-use templates inside the book - no email walls, no downloads.

Ethan Mollick's Co-Intelligence explains why this matters, and stops there. A consultant runs chapter three as apaid workshop; here it is a chapter.

Answer the four questions. Then run the week you actually have.
