THE FLIGHT MANUAL SERIES
Five tools for five conversations every leader faces.
You know the conversation is coming. Feedback that needs to land. A delegation that needs to stick. An ask that needs to go up. A course correction that can't wait. A relationship that's gone sideways. Each Flight Manual tool takes about ten minutes and builds a complete strategy — written for your specific person and your specific situation.
HOW IT WORKS
Pick
the situation
Each tool is built for a specific leadership moment — giving feedback, delegating, managing up, course-correcting someone who's drifted, or diagnosing a relationship that's gone sideways. Pick the one that matches what you're dealing with right now.
Answer
the prompts
You'll describe the person, the situation, what you've tried, and your own defaults. The questions are specific — not personality inventory stuff. The more concrete your answers, the more useful the strategy.

The Redirect

Someone who used to be on track has drifted — declining output, shifting attitude, growing distance. The Redirect plans the course correction: how to name the drift, what's actually driving it, and how to reset without escalating or destroying the relationship.
